Effectiveness of a Group-Managed Interdependent Contingency System.

Salend, Spencer J.; Lamb, Elizabeth Allen

Learning Disability Quarterly, v9 n4 p268-73 Fall 1986

An interdependent group-managed response-cost system mediated by free tokens was employed to decrease inappropriate verbalizations of two groups of elementary-level learning disabled children (N=9). Results indicated that this contingency system was a viable and effective method of decreasing inappropriate behavior. Peer pressure was credited for the system's success.(DB)
