I would have thought that psychology teachers would know that reinforcement works better than punishment. Anyway, I recall reading and lecturing on a study many years ago now in which a classroom (perhaps some kind of lab??) was wired so that when noise levels were below a certain level music played. The contingency worked as demonstrated by ABAB design. Best wishes Jim ============================================================================ James M.
