Increasing Word Recognition and Math Ability in a Severely Learning-Disabled Student with Token Reinforcers.
Pavchinski, Peter; And Others
Psychology in the Schools, v26 n4 p397-411 Oct 1989
In a two-part experiment, a severely learning-disabled youth was treated for lack of reading and math skills using token reinforcers for correct responses. The subject reached a 90 percent correct response rate following implementation of experimental design. Part two produced a 100 percent achievement level for the most difficult math items.
