Evaluating progress in behavioral programs for children with autism spectrum disorders via continuous and discontinuous measurement.

abstract：:The properties of operant reinforcers are dynamic and dependent on a number of variables, such as schedule and effort. There has been sparse research on the generalized conditioned properties of token reinforcement. We evaluated leisure items, edible items, and tokens using a progressive ratio schedule with three chil...
