Videotaped interactions were coded for positive and negative verbal and nonverbal behaviors. Functional relations between child's target behaviors and adults' antecedent and consequent behaviors were identified and resulted in positivecompliant and negative-coercive classes of behavior. All dyads demonstrated positive-compliant patterns. Two mother-child dyads engaged in extended sequences of negative-coercive interactions whereas the unrelated adult terminated negative exchanges quickly. These sequential data suggest the need for developing specific behavioral training programs for mothers of drug-exposed children and other significant adults. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
