Determining preschoolers' preferences for choice-making opportunities: choice of task versus choice of consequence.

abstract：:The role of sensory reinforcement was examined in programming multiple treatment gains in self-stimulation and spontaneous play for developmentally disabled children. Two phases were planned. First, we attempted to identify reinforcers maintaining self-stimulation. Sensory Extinction procedures were implemented in whi...
