Training peer behavior managers improved their appropriate consequence-dispensing. Manager reinforcement contingent on their own behavior was more effective than group reinforcement, though group contingencies could disrupt progress.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Psychology
  • Educational Interventions
  • Performance Management

Background:

  • Teacher-led reinforcement is effective but resource-intensive.
  • Peer behavior managers offer a scalable alternative for classroom supervision.
  • Optimizing training and maintenance for peer managers is crucial for effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a training procedure for peer behavior managers.
  • To compare the impact of two maintenance contingencies on manager behavior.
  • To assess the effectiveness of manager reinforcement versus group reinforcement.

Main Methods:

  • Four peer behavior managers were trained to supervise small groups (4-6 students) using programmed math materials.
  • Manager training effectiveness was compared to a teacher skilled in social/point reinforcement and response cost.

  • Two maintenance contingencies were examined: manager reinforcement for consequence-dispensing vs. group study behavior.

    • Main Results:

    • Manager training improved rates of appropriate social and point dispensing.
    • Reinforcement contingent on manager's own consequence-dispensing yielded better results for 3/4 managers compared to group study reinforcement.
    • A group performance contingency, when applied before manager performance contingency, increased inappropriate behaviors.

    Conclusions:

    • Targeted training can enhance peer behavior manager effectiveness.
    • Contingent reinforcement of manager behavior is a key factor in maintaining appropriate performance.
    • The sequence and type of maintenance contingencies significantly impact manager behavior, requiring careful design to avoid negative effects.
