Classroom Reinforcement and Learning: A Quantitative Synthesis.
Lysakowski, Richard S.; Walberg, Herbert J.
Journal of Educational Research, v75 n2 p69-77 Nov-Dec 1981
A preview of statistical data from previous studies determined the benefits of positive reinforcement on learning in students from kindergarten through college. Results indicate that differences between reinforced and control groups are greater for girls and for students from special schools and that reinforcement appears to have a strong effect on classroom learning.
