Abstract: The combined effect of ignoring inappropriate behavior while reinforcing alternative appropriate behavior was assessed using a multiple baseline design over four behaviors in a special education day care center. The behavior of a three year old mildly retarded child was observed over thirty-eight experimental sessions. The rate of three of the four inappropriate behaviors decreased following contingent application of reinforcement. A decrement in rate of a fourth behavior was noted throughout the project without application of contingencies.
