The present study attempted to examine changes in parental reinforcement value as a function of parental use of timeout and differential attention. Subjects were two children classified by their parents as highly oppositional to parental requests or commands. Results showed that the children's oppositional behavior varied predictably with the presence and absence of parental use of timeout and differential attention. As expected, parental reinforcement value for the children was higher during treatment periods than during baseline periods.
本研究试图考察父母使用超时和差异关注作为功能的父母强化价值的变化。研究对象是两个被父母认为非常反对父母要求或命令的孩子。结果表明，孩子的反抗行为可预测地随父母使用超时和差异关注的存在和不存在而变化。正如预期的那样，治疗期间父母对孩子的强化价值高于基线期间。
