Analysis of Free-Time Contingencies as Positive versus Negative Reinforcement.

Zarcone, Jennifer R.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v29 n2 p247-50 Sum 1996

Analysis of the effects of a short break contingent on completed work with a 10-year-old boy with autism and profound mental retardation found the 20-second break increased responding more than a positive reinforcer did, and the reinforcing effects of a 20-second break were affected by the availability of positive reinforcers during the break.
