Abstract
Two groups of second-grade children were taught to read orally 30 words and were later tested for retention. One group of subjects received verbal consequences, while the other group received verbal consequences plus token reinforcement. The token group reached criterion in significantly fewer trials and correctly read significantly more words on the retention tests after the longer retention intervals.Keywords
