Tóm tắt

A child watching an excessive amount of T.V. was provided a behavioral program featuring a token‐actuated timer. Earned tokens were used to activate the T.V. for thirty‐minute periods. The token‐exchange system effectively reduced T.V. viewing and the reductions were maintained at two follow‐up points. The principal contribution of the study is the development and evaluation of an electronically controlled device that was used to check the accuracy of parent‐reported data.
