Defining Reinforcers--A Problem in Communication For Consultation in Behavior Modification
Schmits, Donald W.
Journal of School Psychology, 11, 1, 36-39, Mar 73
This paper reviews the respondent (Hull-Spence) and operant (Skinnerian) conditioning definitions of reinforcers and reinforcement and demonstrates the need to keep the systems separate when consulting about behavior modification. The two systems are shown to lead to different modification procedures. (Author)
