USE AND ANALYSIS OF THE “GOOD BEHAVIOR GAME” TO REDUCE DISRUPTIVE CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR1
Open accessAbstract
A recent study reported procedures (the “good behavior game”) for reducing disruptive classroom behavior. Replication of the procedures of the “good behavior game” in two classrooms showed it to be an effective technique for reducing disruptive talking and out‐of‐seat behavior. Further experimental analysis indicated that the effective components of the game were division of the class into teams, consequences for a team winning the game, and criteria set for winning the game. Although disruptive behavior was markedly reduced by the game, the reductions were correlated with only slightly improved accuracy of academic performance in the one classroom where academic performance was measured.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
