Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) and noncontingent reinforcement were compared as control procedures during the modification of a 3-yr-old preschooler's compliance. The recorded reinforcer was teacher proximity (within 3 ft (0.9) of the subject for at least 5 sec) which was often accompanied by positive verbal comments that varied in content across experimental conditions. The verabal content during contingent reinforcement might have been: "Thank you for picking up the blocks"; during non-contingent reinforcement: "You're wearing a pretty dress"; and during DRO: "I don't blame you for not picking up because it isn't any fun". Contingent reinforcement increased compliance in all manipulation conditions. Noncontingent reinforcement decreased compliance during two reversal conditions. However, the behavior was variable and did not decrease to the low levels reached during the two DRO reversals.
在对一名3岁学龄前儿童的顺从行为进行矫正期间，将其他行为的差别强化（DRO）和非连续强化作为控制程序进行了比较。记录的强化物是教师靠近（在距离受试者3英尺（0.9米）以内至少5秒），这通常伴随着积极的言语评论，这些评论在不同实验条件下内容各异。在依随强化期间言语内容可能是：“谢谢你捡起积木”；在非连续强化期间：“你穿着一条漂亮的裙子”；在DRO期间：“我不怪你没捡，因为这没什么意思”。依随强化在所有操纵条件下都提高了顺从性。非连续强化在两个反转条件下降低了顺从性。然而，行为是可变的，并没有降低到在两个DRO反转期间达到的低水平。
