Abstract
Time out and differential reinforcement were employed to control the disruptivebehavior of a 3-year-old boy. Treatment was carried out in the home by the child's mother. The frequency of the boy's objectionable behavior varied according to the combined use of differential attention and time out. Differential attention alone was not effective in altering the problem behaviors. Similar changes in behavior were observed in the boy's 5-year-old sister although she was not considered a problem and no specific treatment plan had been designed to modify her responses. Follow-up observations over a 10-month period revealed that behavioral changes were maintained.
