We conducted 2 studies on reinforcer preference in patients with dementia. Results of preference assessments yielded differential selections by 14 participants. Unlike prior studies with individuals with intellectual disabilities, all participants showed a noticeable preference for leisure items over edible items. Results of a subsequent analysis with 3 participants showed reinforcement effects when highly preferred items were delivered as consequences.
我们进行了两项关于痴呆患者强化物偏好的研究。偏好评估的结果显示，有 14 名参与者做出了不同的选择。与先前针对智障人士的研究不同，所有参与者都明显更喜欢休闲物品而不是食物。对 3 名参与者进行的后续分析显示，当高度偏好的物品作为后果呈现时，会产生强化效果。
