The present study evaluated the effects of reinforcer magnitude and quality on preference for continuous and discontinuous arrangements. Two preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) participated in the study. Both participants initially preferred a discontinuous arrangement when choice options included the same quality and magnitude reinforcers; however, magnitude and quality manipulations resulted in a change in preference for continuous arrangements.
本研究评估了强化物大小和质量对连续和不连续安排偏好的影响。两名患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的学龄前儿童参与了该研究。当选择选项包括相同质量和大小的强化物时,两名参与者最初都更喜欢不连续的安排;然而,大小和质量的操纵导致了对连续安排偏好的改变。
