Abstract

Contingent reinforcement procedures such as those used in this study appear to be a practical and effective means of reducing uncooperative child behavior during dental treatment. The cost of the equipment is modest and, as the equipment can be operated by means of a foot pedal, contingent reinforcement procedures can be implemented without interfering with ongoing activities.
