abstract="An attempt was made to control misbehavior around the pool table in a training school cottage. The Ss were fifteen boys, ages 13-15, committed by courts. Misbehavior included breaking the rules of the game, throwing pool cues, scuffling, kibitzing and bouncing balls on floor. In Phase I (7 weeks), misbehavior resulted in S being immediately confined in a &quot;time-out&quot; room for 15 min. In Phase II (13 weeks), S was verbally reprimanded. In Phase III (20 weeks), confinement was resumed. Ss' cumulative records showed decreasing rates of misbehavior during confinement condition and rapid recovery during reprimand condition. The conclusion is that swift, brief confinement was a useful control device. The problems of obtaining greater resistance to extinction and also, positive generalization to other situations remain to be studied.
