Chance or Choice?

Wallwork, Andrew

British Journal of Special Education, v17 n4 p148-50 Dec 1990

Eleven British students (ages 16-19) with severe learning difficulties were presented with microcomputer switches which activated various visual and auditory contingencies. Students were able to indicate a preference for specific contingencies when placed in a carefully designed situation. Visual rewards did not generate strong preferences. (JDD)
