Delayed timeout as a procedure for reducing disruptive classroom behavior: a case study

E Ramp et al. J Appl Behav Anal. 1971 Fall.

Abstract

The disruptive behavior of a 9-yr-old boy was eliminated by the illumination of a light on the subject's desk, which represented the loss of free time later in the day. Instructions alone failed to reduce the frequency of disruptive behavior. When the light was removed and disruptive behavior no longer resulted in a loss of free time, disruptive behavior returned to its previous level.
