Token Reinforcement: Effects for Reducing Tardiness with a Socially Disadvantaged Adolescent Student.
Inkster, J. A.; McLaughlin, T. F.
B.C. Journal of Special Education, v17 n2 p176-82 1993
A token reinforcement program with microcomputer free time as the reinforcer was implemented to decrease the tardiness of a middle school economically disadvantaged student. The microcomputer time was a very effective reinforcer; school personnel reported improved school attendance and a decrease in administrative discipline related to tardiness; and the student reported an improved attitude toward school and assignments.
