Abstract

Four female children (4 to 6 years of age) were tested on fixed interval (FI) 30-sec and 60-sec food schedule with M & M candy reinforcers. All four subjects displayed increased movement on the FI schedules as compared to appropriate FR 1 baseline conditions. Increased drinking was shown by three subjects, and increased vocalization by two subjects. These results clearly demonstrated schedule-induced behaviors in children with food reinforcement schedules which are typically used in animal experiments.U

摘要

对四名4至6岁的女童，采用固定间隔（FI）30秒和60秒的食物安排，并以M&M糖果作为强化物进行测试。与适当的固定比率1（FR 1）基线条件相比，所有四名受试者在FI安排下的活动都有所增加。三名受试者表现出饮水增加，两名受试者表现出发声增加。这些结果清楚地证明了在儿童中，食物强化安排会引发日程诱导行为，而这种安排通常用于动物实验。
