Noncontingent peer attention as treatment for disruptive classroom behavior

K M Jones et al. J Appl Behav Anal. 2000 Fall.

Abstract

A functional analysis isolated peer attention as the primary maintaining variable for disruptive behavior displayed by a student with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Using a brief reversal design, noncontingent reinforcement was then shown to reduce disruptive behavior relative to the peer attention condition. Implications for assessing behavior disorders in mainstream school settings are discussed.
