Peer reviewedAllen, Keith D.; Stokes, Trevor F. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
A contingency management procedure using both positive and negative reinforcement was used to strengthen cooperative behavior in five children (ages 3-6) during a series of restorative dental treatment sessions lasting from 15-60 minutes. Baseline levels of disruptive behavior as high as 90 percent were reduced to less than 15 percent. (JW)
