Abstract
Sixteen pupils in three, second-grade classes were performing below grade achievement level in arithmetic. To increase their performance, parents were instructed to present contingent consequences at home. Three methods were used for instructing parents in program management: parents of 5 pupils attended two one-hour conferences, parents of 6 received a 15-minute conference, and instructions were mailed to parents of the other 5. All three methods resulted in increases in pupils' percent correct, but no substantial difference was observed as a function of mode of parent instruction. Parents receiving two hours' instruction later applied contingency management to additional child behaviors.

The child's objectionable behaviors were observed to change in frequency and topography as a consequence of the treatment and appeared to generalize from the experimental hour to the remaining hours of the day.

It was demonstrated that a mother's social behavior may function as a powerful class of reinforcers for her child's deviant as well as normal behavior.

Results showed that the children's oppositional behavior varied predictably with the presence and absence of parental use of timeout and differential attention, and parental reinforcement value for the children was higher during treatment periods than during baseline periods.

Three basic multiple baseline designs were used to investigate the effects of systematic reinforcement and punishment procedures in the classroom and at home and marked increases in the behaviors were observed at the points where the contingency was applied.

A program based upon discriminative stimulus “modeling” and sequencing of steps and goals into phases, proved more effective than two variants of token reinforcement economies which gave less attention to constraining and propping the target behavior.

It is argued that the behavioural treatment of children's disorders can be facilitated by arranging re-learning sessions in which the child and parents both participate.
