The present report evaluates the accuracy of a reinforcer survey by comparing the survey results to the results of subsequent reinforcer assessments for 20 children using a concurrent-operants arrangement to assess relative reinforcer preference. Total accuracy for the survey was determined to be approximately 57%. The results provide a systematic replication of Northup et al. (1996) with a much larger sample of children. A need for the development of more accurate and comprehensive reinforcer assessment methods for verbal children is discussed.
本报告通过将强化物调查结果与随后对20名儿童进行的强化物评估结果进行比较,评估了强化物调查的准确性,采用同时操作安排来评估相对强化物偏好。该调查的总体准确率约为57%。结果对Northup等人(1996年)的研究进行了系统的重复,样本中的儿童数量更多。文中讨论了为言语能力儿童开发更准确、更全面的强化物评估方法的必要性。
