Peer-Tutoring as a Reinforcer for Appropriate Tutee Behavior.
Johnson, Lawrence J.; Idol-Maestas, Lorna
Journal of Special Education Technology, v7 n4 p14-21 Spr 1986
Four third-grade male students with behavior problems were given tutoring sessions by sixth-grade tutors either contingent on or not contingent on classroom on task behavior. Contingent tutoring always produced improved on-task behavior, while noncontingent tutoring did not, suggesting that tutoring was an effective reinforcer. (Author/DB)
