Abstract
Systematic adult social reinforcement brought about behavior changes in brain-injured children with developmental deficits not amenable to previous efforts at modification. Following baseline observations, systematic reinforcement procedures were successfully carried out by parents and teachers initially unskilled in operant conditioning techniques. The necessity of contingent reinforcement was demonstrated during a brief reversal of contingencies which resulted in a correspondingly brief decrease in the rates of the desired behaviors. A postcheck three months after termination of the experiment indicated the behavior changes were being maintained at rates higher than those observed prior to employment of experimental procedures.
