A learning task, a six-position modification of a Fellows (1967) sequence, was used to examine the differences in responsiveness to symbolic and tangible incentives with 24 pre-delinquent and 25 non-delinquent 15-yr.-old boys. Under the low-incentive condition, only the symbolic incentive was available while under the high-incentive condition a symbolic and material reinforcer was employed. The high-incentive condition had no significant effect on the non-delinquents but did significantly affect the delinquents. Also, the high-incentive delinquent group performed similarly to both non-delinquent groups. Recommendations for research are given.
一项学习任务，即对费洛斯（1967年）序列进行的六位置修改，被用于检验24名有犯罪倾向的15岁男孩和25名无犯罪记录的15岁男孩对象征性激励和实物激励反应的差异。在低激励条件下，只有象征性激励可用，而在高激励条件下，则采用象征性和物质强化物。高激励条件对无犯罪记录的男孩没有显著影响，但对有犯罪倾向的男孩有显著影响。此外，高激励的有犯罪倾向组的表现与两个无犯罪记录组相似。文中给出了研究建议。
