Quantitative Assessments of Sensitivity to Reinforcement Contingencies in Mental Retardation.
Dube, William V.; McIlvane, William J.
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v107 n2 p136-45 Mar 2002
Sensitivity to reinforcement contingencies was examined in six individuals with mental retardation using a concurrent operants procedure in the context of a computer game. Results included individual differences in sensitivity and differential sensitivity to rate and magnitude variation. Results suggest that comprehensive assessments of potential reinforcers should include tests of delivery parameters. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
