Establishing Operations and Reinforcement Effects.

Vollmer, Timothy R.; Iwata, Brian A.

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v24 n2 p279-91 Sum 1991

Five adult males with profound retardation were assessed on a motor task during baseline, satiation, and deprivation conditions, with three classes of consequences: small food items, music, and social praise. Each stimulus class functioned as reinforcement, with different degrees of effectiveness during satiation versus deprivation conditions. (Author/JDD)
