This study determined whether music could be used as a reinforcer for increasing productive and decreasing nonproductive behavior of 6 competitive swimmers during the dry-land portion of practice session. The swimmers were randomly assigned to either the contingent reinforcement group, who received music for productive behavior, or the noncontingent group, who received music regardless of their training productivity. An ABAB design showed that a large and immediate increase in productive practice behavior and decrease in nonproductive practice behavior occurred during the contingent phase compared to the baseline phase. Subjects rated the musical reinforcement favorably and elected to have the procedure continued.
本研究确定了在训练课的陆上部分，音乐是否可作为一种强化物，用于增加6名竞技游泳运动员的有效行为并减少无效行为。游泳运动员被随机分配到偶然强化组（该组因有效行为而获得音乐）或非偶然组（无论训练效率如何都能获得音乐）。ABAB设计表明，与基线阶段相比，在偶然阶段，有效训练行为大幅且立即增加，无效训练行为减少。受试者对音乐强化给予好评，并选择继续该程序。
