Self-Reinforcement and Descriptive Praise in Maintaining Token Economy Reading Performance.
Novak, Gary; Hammond, J. Mark
Journal of Educational Research, v76 n3 p186-89 Jan-Feb 1983
Researchers used four token reinforcement systems--tokens only, descriptive praise, self-reinforcement, and a combination of all three--and observed the effect on the problem solving performance of fourth-grade reading students. Only students using the combination reward system maintained their progress after tokens were withdrawn. (Authors/PP)
