These points could be used for special classroom activities, lounge and library privileges, store purchases, and rental of private study offices. Social acceptance and status also became strong incentives. CASE project staff members were trained in two courses (Environmental Design and Behavioral Analysis and its Extension) on NTSB premises. Increases in student educational behavior and achievement (as measured by the Stanford Achievement Tests and other objective tests) and changes in attitudinal behavior with direct modeling after the staff (as measured subjectively) encouraged the staff to expand the project.
