“…Not surprisingly, extrinsic incentives have been a frequent adjunct to pediatric enuresis programs (Kolko, 1987;Popler, 1976). Reinforcement procedures alone may not be sufficient to cure enuresis, but they may help sustain the interest of participants while they are learning continence skills (Friman, 1986).…”

It is estimated that enuresis affects 5 to 7 million children in the United States. Although the problem is common and well known, appropriate and effective treatment is not always provided. This may be due to the many etiological theories associated with this condition as well as a correspondingly high number of interventions. The present paper summarizes the empirical literature regarding primary nocturnal enuresis (PNEI, with an emphasis on pharmacological and behavioral interventions. The data support the view that children with enuresis have a wide range of negative experiences that can affect self-esteem and development, but that enuresis is not associated with significant psychiatric or behavioral difficulties. Given the strong empirical support for several interventions for PNE, children who have this condition should not go untreated.

“…Token economies have successfully modified behavior in elementary schools (O'Leary & Becker, 1967), residential treatment facilities for children (Barkley, Hastings, Tousel, & Tousel, 1976;Nahor & Felthous, 1976), prisons (Milan & McKee, 1976), and individual treatment cases (Popler, 1976). …”

The present study examined the effects of a token economy on off-task (nontarget) behavior occurring concurrently with the reinforcement of target behavior. The ability of a token economy to maintain its effectiveness for a long time period when utilized in a class for emotionally disturbed and learning disabled children was also investigated. Results indicated that while the token economy maintained its effectiveness in terms of increasing the frequency of target behaviors, the frequency of offtask or inappropriate behaviors also increased as the year progressed. Implications for using token economies with a special population are discussed.
