 much money.

 Have N      Eat a meal   Have N+1
 hours to       at a      hours to
  study      restaurant    study

The outcome was too small to control my behavior,

significance on a bank account

Problems During Intervention

 Not always enough time to go grocery
  shopping
 Ineffective contingency
   $2 penalty was not large enough
Recycle
 The $2 penalty contingency was
 ineffective
 Increased penalty to match the
 cost of the meal
  If meal was $6, penalty was to pay

 performance manager $6
              (Including
             performance
             management)
My Results

 I found the recycle phase to be more
  effective
 Paying my performance manager the
  amount that matches the price of the
  meal was more aversive than the simple
  $2
My Comments
 Between you and me, I will not continue
  this project any longer.
 It was nice being able to save money by
  limiting myself to one restaurant-meal a
  week.
 BUT, it was so annoying.
 Especially when I would not finish
  homework until later in the evening and
  was too tired to cook.
THANK YOU!!
