This study aimed to compare two structured methods designed to reduce the frequency of tics in a child with tic disorder not otherwise specified. More specifically, the effects of a verbal instruction not to engage in tics was compared to a verbal instruction plus the differential reinforcement of zero-rate behavior. The results showed that the differential reinforcement produced a greater reduction in tic frequency.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare two structured methods designed to reduce the frequency of tics in a child with tic disorder not otherwise specified. More specifically, the effects of a verbal instruction not to engage in tics was compared to a verbal instruction plus the differential reinforcement of zero-rate behavior. The results showed that the differential reinforcement produced a greater reduction in tic frequency.File in questo prodotto:
