But What Happens When you Take That Reinforcement Away?

Dickinson, Donald J.

Psychology in the Schools, 11, 2, 158-160, 74

In this study, students who had been removed from a reinforcement program two years earlier made significantly greater gains in reading achievement than students who had not been involved in any reinforcement program.
