  • Title: The use of contingent-interrupted music in the treatment of disruptive bus-riding behavior.
    Author: Barmann BC, Croyle-Barmann C, McLain B.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 1980; 13(4):693-8. PubMed ID: 7204285.
    Abstract:
    The present study evaluated the efficacy of using contingent-interrupted music in treating the disruptive bus-riding behavior of an 8-year-old profoundly retarded female. Music was played during each bus ride as long as the subject was sitting appropriately, and interrupted contingent upon each response defined as disruptive bus riding, during an ABCDCDCDA design. A significant reduction in disruptive bus riding occurred with each introduction of contingent-interrupted music. The treatment procedure described in this report was easy to administer, produced rapid treatment gains, and showed virtually no regression during an 8-week follow-up period.
