Abstract: The present study, using the ABA design, examined choice procedures to teach self-control for autistic children. Three participants chose between an immediate smaller reinforcer and a larger reinforcer after completion of matching-to-sample tasks. The number of tasks was increased by one when participants chose the larger reinforcer in successive two trials. The number of tasks after 20 trials was defined as an indifference point for each participant. Under the increasing reinforcer amount condition, the reinforcer amount in the larger reinforcer was increased by one when participants chose the larger reinforcer, whereas under the fixed reinforcer amount condition, the reinforcer amount was fixed at five irrespective of participants' choices. One of the three participants showed a high level of indifference point in the increasing reinforcer amount condition than in the fixed reinforcer amount condition. For the other two participants, however, there was no substantial change between the two conditions. These results suggest that some developmental aspects must be considered for each child in addition to devising procedures to promote self-control used as in the present study.
