BEHAVIORAL MOMENTUM IN THE TREATMENT OF NONCOMPLIANCE
Open accessAbstract
Behavioral momentum refers to the tendency for behavior to persist following a change in environmental conditions. The greater the rate of reinforcement, the greater the behavioral momentum. The intervention for noncompliance consisted of issuing a sequence of commands with which the subject was very likely to comply (i.e., high‐probability commands) immediately prior to issuing a low‐probability command. In each of five experiments, the high‐probability command sequence resulted in a “momentum” of compliant responding that persisted when a low‐probability request was issued. Results showed the antecedent high‐probability command sequence increased compliance and decreased compliance latency and task duration. “Momentum‐like” effects were shown to be distinct from experimenter attention and to depend on the contiguity between the high‐probability command sequence and the low‐probability command.

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.
