Effects of Differential Reinforcement Procedures on Discrimination Learning by Institutionalized Mentally Retarded Children

Blair, John R.; Fox, Bruce R.

Psychological Reports, 33, 2, 447-450, Oct 73

Institutionalized mentally retarded children performed on a two-choice discrimination task under one of six conditions of reward. One indication of the results was that response-contingent non-consumable rewards were not more distracting than response-contingent consumable rewards. (Author/KM)
