Inappropriate behaviors are common during hallway transitions. Researchers have successfully reduced hallway transition times using the Timely Transitions Game, which involves applying interdependent group rewards delivered contingent upon a class’s transition time. A multiple-baseline design was used to evaluate effects of a modified Timely Transitions Game (i.e., a response cost component was added to typical Timely Transition Game procedures) on inappropriate hallway transition behavior across three elementary summer program classrooms. Visual analysis of a repeated-measures graph and statistical analysis suggested that the modified Timely Transitions Game caused immediate, consistent, and meaningful reductions in inappropriate transition behaviors across classrooms. The modified Timely Transitions Game may be an effective prevention and remediation procedure consistent with approaches focusing on reducing inappropriate behavior via the application of behavioral strategies. Discussion is focused on the need for additional studies to evaluate longitudinal effects and the generalizability of the current findings.

使用改进的及时过渡游戏减少小学生的走廊干扰

在走廊过渡期间，不当行为很常见。研究人员使用“及时过渡游戏”成功减少了走廊过渡时间，该游戏涉及根据班级的过渡时间应用相互依赖的团体奖励。多基线设计用于评估修改后的“及时过渡游戏”（即，将响应成本成分添加到典型的“及时过渡游戏”程序中）对三个基本暑期班级教室中不合适的走廊过渡行为的影响。对重复测量图的视觉分析和统计分析表明，修改后的“及时过渡博弈”导致跨教室不适当过渡行为的立即，一致和有意义的减少。修改后的及时过渡游戏可能是一种有效的预防和补救程序，与侧重于通过应用行为策略减少不当行为的方法一致。讨论的重点是需要进行其他研究以评估纵向影响和当前发现的一般性。
