The use of reinforcement principles to expedite learning has been the focus of increasing educational interest as evidenced by a growing number of behavioral texts, research reports, and institutional programs. Contingent reinforcement has been applied within school settings to shape social behavior, academic behavior, and attitudes toward school and learning in general. The selection of appropriate reinforcers for academic work presents an experimental and educational dilemma, since investigators are disposed to ex post facto evaluation concerning effects. Of particular interest in previous investigations was the seemingly infinite variety of reinforcers employed in behavioral shaping. Reinforcing effects have been investigated concerning teacher praise, peer approval, food, material rewards, and free time. Thus, a continuing effort is being made to examine the reinforcing properties of various persons, material things, and activities. In the present study, the effect of contingent (earned) music listening on academic responses of sixth grade students was investigated. Previous studies concerning reinforcing functions of music listening and music activities have been affirmative.1 One study revealed that sixth grade black students in a nonintegrated elementary school preferred music listening to candy when given a noncontingent payoff, although candy was slightly preferred when the payoff was contingent on improved scale singing perform
