Role of Instructions and Reinforcement in Behavior Changes in Token Reinforcement Programs
Kazdin, Alan E.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 64, 1, 63-71, Feb 73
Major findings were that: contingent reinforcement was effective in altering behavior; instructions did not augment the efficacy of contingent reinforcement; noncontingent reinforcement was effective for nondeviant students who were told that the reinforcement was actually contingent; and contingent reinforcement led to greater generalization than noncontingent reinforcement.
