(The [[Token economy|token reward system]] was another invention by him.) [[Montrose Wolf]], a graduate student assistant of Staats on several studies dealing with reading learning in preschoolers, used that background when he went to the [[University of Washington]] where he began his creative program of research.<ref name="extrinsic"/> Wolf began the widespread use of Staats' time-out procedure in extending training methods to an [[Autism|autistic child]] (see the 1964 published study dealing with the behavioral treatment of a child).<ref>{{cite journal |pmc=1226164 |pmid=16033175 |doi=10.1901/jaba.2005.165-04 |volume=38 |issue=2 |title=Montrose M.

Staats described the discipline of his two-year-old daughter in 1962: "I would put her in her crib and indicate that she had to stay there until she stopped crying. If we were in a public place [where her behavior was inappropriate], I would pick her up and go outside."<ref name="20 People"/>
