Abstract
After systematic attempts to increase a teacher's positive responding to her first-grade students, a token-economy system was implemented as a “last resort”. On-task student behavior and relative frequency of positive and negative teacher comments were systematically observed. Data indicated that institution of the token system was associated with a relatively higher percentage of positive than negative comments. Termination and re-implementation of the token system caused reversals of the teacher's behavior.Keywords
