Operant Conditioning of Vocalization Rate of Infants with Down Syndrome.
Poulson, Claire L.
American Journal of Mental Retardation, v93 n1 p57-63 Jul 1988
Parents of three Down's Syndrome infants, aged 2-8 months, provided continuous reinforcement for vocalization (CRF) and differential reinforcement of other-than-vocalization (DRO). All infants produced systematically higher vocalization rates during CRF, even though the amount of social stimulation during DRO was equal to or greater than the amount provided during CRF.
