Effects of Choice of Stimuli as a Reinforcer for Task Responding in Preschoolers with and Without Developmental Disabilities by Kathleen M. Waldron-Soler PDF Summary

Book Description: "The effects of choice and no-choice of stimuli as a reinforcer on task responding were investigated across preschoolers with and without disabilities. Five lower preferred stimuli were identified for each participant using a stimulus preference assessment. Participants were then exposed to choice and no-choice conditions using a combined alternating treatments design within a multiple baseline across participants. During choice conditions, participants were permitted to choose one stimulus from three of the five lower preferred stimuli contingent on responding. During no-choice conditions, the trainer presented one of the five stimuli contingent on responding. Differences were found for choice and no-choice conditions when the lower preferred stimuli were used as reinforcers. However, the identified stimuli were more reinforcing for typically functioning children compared to children with mild d velopmental disabilities. The results are discussed in terms of the effects of choice of stimuli as reinforcers within an educational setting for children with and without mild developmental disabilities. Comparisons with previous research and implications are also discussed"--Document.
