This study examined the clinical effects of correspondence training procedures in the management of a hyperactive-conduct disordered boy. During the reinforcement of promise-do correspondence procedure, a toy (reinforcer) was given contingent upon the presence of a promise to inhibit target behaviors (e.g., inattention, overactivity, aggression) and the actual inhibition of such behaviors. This intervention was programmed in a multiple baseline design across settings. Consistently lower levels of hyperactivity and conduct disorders were noted during treatment, relative to baseline. A demonstration of the indirect effects of the procedures upon the child's academic performance was also seen.
