We compared the effects of sensory and edible reinforcers on resistance to satiation in three autistic children while learning visual discrimination tasks. Within-subject designs were used to compare a single sensory reinforcer with a single edible reinforcer and to compare multiple sensory reinforcers with multiple edibles. Results indicated that multiple sensory reinforcers maintained responding over more trials than did multiple edible reinforcers; however, the use of single sensory reinforcers and single edibles resulted in about equal numbers of trials to satiation. Both multiple and single sensory reinforcers produced higher percentages of correct responses than edible reinforcers. The findings are discussed in terms of the advantages of sensory reinforcers in teaching autistic children.
我们在三名自闭症儿童学习视觉辨别任务时,比较了感官强化物和可食用强化物对饱腹感抵抗的影响。采用被试内设计,将单一感官强化物与单一可食用强化物进行比较,并将多种感官强化物与多种可食用强化物进行比较。结果表明,与多种可食用强化物相比,多种感官强化物在更多试验中维持了反应;然而,单一感官强化物和单一可食用强化物的使用导致达到饱腹感的试验次数大致相等。多种和单一感官强化物产生的正确反应百分比均高于可食用强化物。我们从感官强化物在教导自闭症儿童方面的优势讨论了这些发现。
