Buckalew, L.W.; Buckalew, Patricia Bowman

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v56 n2 p580 Apr 1983

Seventeen children ranging in age from 9 to 15 years and from grades four and eight in five classes for students with emotional conflicts were placed on a video game reward system. The observation of enhanced classroom decorum and individual performance of students suggest the effectiveness of this reward in modifying behavior. (Author/PN)
