An Evaluation of the High‐probability Instruction Sequence With and Without Programmed Reinforcement for Compliance With High‐probability Instructions
Year: 2008
Type: article
Abstract: We assessed the effects of reinforcement and no reinforcement for compliance to high-probability (high-p) instructions on compliance to low-probability (low-p) instructions using a reversal design. For both participants, compliance with the low-p instruction increased only when compliance with high-p instructions was followed by reinforcement. These results suggest that providing reinforcement for high-p instructions may result in increased compliance to low-p instructions.
