A classification and review of cooperation procedures1
Don F. Hake and Ron Vukelich
1This work was supported by the State of Illinois Department of Mental Health and NIMH Grant 17981. As his cooperative response in a long-standing history of response-exchange cooperation with the first author, Dr. Harris Rubin came through as usual with valuable criticisms of the manuscript. The authors are also indebted to Mr. Sheldon Kaplan who provided valuable assistance at several points in the preparation of this manuscript. Reprints may be obtained from Don F.

Abstract
The definition of cooperation allows many procedural variations, as revealed by examination of the cooperation literature which includes procedures differing so greatly that it is surprising that all of them are considered under the same topic. This paper attempts to provide a framework for organizing that literature by (1) indicating some procedural dimensions along which cooperation procedures can be classified, (2) classifying and reviewing briefly the research at the extremes of these procedural dimensions, and (3) indicating the behavioral effects that are necessary to demonstrate control by the various cooperation procedures.
