Abstract
Studies of movement from large congregate to small community residenti al settings have consistently detected positive behavior changes among the people who moved. This study continued following a group of young adults after community placement in an attempt to distinguish between short term changes, which may have been related to environmental dema nds, and longer term changes, which may have been related to skill acq uisition. The study yielded preliminary indications that there were tw o distinct patterns of enhancements in behavior, depending on the cate gory of behavior.
