Abstract
To assess the drug-behavior interaction effects with an 8-year-old boy with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, common classroom antec edent (e.g., seating arrangement) and consequent (e.g., peer prompts) stimuli were alternated within a school day while drug conditions (met hylphenidate vs. placebo) were alternated across days. The results sug gested that peer attention maintained disruptive behavior when methylp henidate was absent but not when it was present.
