Systematic Evaluation of Variables that Contribute to Noncompliance: A Replication and Extension
McKerchar, Paige M.; Abby, Layla
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v45 n3 p607-611 Fall 2012
The effects of time-out and escape extinction were examined with 2 preschoolers after we identified variables that may have resulted in noncompliance. Results of a functional analysis showed that noncompliance was highest in the escape condition for both participants. During the treatment evaluation, escape extinction resulted in greater reductions in noncompliance relative to time-out. (Contains 1 figure and 1 footnote.)
