摘要：The aim of the study was to investigate if a non-contingent distraction procedure, during thetreatment, would facilitate behavior management increasing the children’s cooperation. In this study,two four-year old children, presenting non-compliance to the treatment were evaluated. Thedistraction technique carried out in dental chair, during the session, involved questions and answersbased in pictures. Correct answers were socially reinforced through chips and prizes. Thirteen sessionswere recorded and the behaviors analyzed in each 15 seconds intervals. Indicative uncooperativebehaviors expressed by high crying frequency (PI:1s-74% and 7s-35%, PII:1s-94% and 6s-40%)suggests that this non-contingent distraction was not effective in reducing children’s uncooperativebehaviors. However, children’s distraction task was improved during the treatment (PI:2s-29% and7s-100% of correct answers, PII:2s-25% and 6s-100% of correct answers. Among the subjects of thisstudy, distraction did not modify non-cooperative behavior, but allowed children to participate of thedistraction planned task, which was not incompatible with non-cooperation responses. The childlearned other behaviors at the same time as being exposed to aversive conditions.
