A Group-Oriented Contingency Management Program: A Review of Research on the Good Behavior Game and Implications for Teachers.

Tankersley, Melody

Preventing School Failure, v40 n1 p19-24 Fall 1995

Research on a team game designed to reinforce positive target behaviors is reviewed. Classroom organization, reinforcement criteria, when and how long to play the game, and reinforcement for winning teams are discussed, as are two variants on the original game. The game is found to be highly effective in reducing talking and out-of-seat behavior. (PB)
