Relative versus absolute reinforcement effects: implications for preference assessments.
We compared results obtained in two previous studies on reinforcer identification (Fisher et al., 1992; Pace, Ivancic, Edwards, Iwata, & Page, 1985) by combining methodologies from both studies. Eight individuals with mental retardation participated. During Phase 1, two preference assessments were conducted, one in which stimuli were presented singly (SS method) and one in which stimuli were pr...
متن کاملSon preference in Indian families: absolute versus relative wealth effects.
The desire for male children is prevalent in India, where son preference has been shown to affect fertility behavior and intrahousehold allocation of resources. Economic theory predicts less gender discrimination in wealthier households, but demographers and sociologists have argued that wealth can exacerbate bias in the Indian context. I argue that these apparently conflicting theories can be ...
متن کاملExamination of relative reinforcement effects of stimuli identified through pretreatment and daily brief preference assessments.
Several brief preference assessments have recently been developed to identify reinforcers for individuals with developmental disabilities. One purported advantage of brief assessments is that they can be administered frequently, thus accommodating shifts in preference and presumably enhancing reinforcement effects. In this study, we initially conducted lengthy paired-choice preference assessmen...
متن کاملAbsolute versus relative likelihood judgment
In this paper we investigate how people construct absolute and relative likelihood judgments. We document systematic violations of two fundamental probability axioms that can occur when evidence for an event H and its complement not-H are stronger than evidence for another event L and its complement not-L. First, H is judged “more likely” than L, while L is assigned a higher probability than H,...
متن کاملEvaluating the relative effects of feedback and contingent money for staff training of stimulus preference assessments.
Performance feedback has facilitated the acquisition and maintenance of a wide range of behaviors (e.g., health-care routines, seat-belt use). Most researchers have attributed the effectiveness of performance feedback to (a) its discriminative functions, (b) its reinforcing functions, or (c) the combination of the two. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the relative contributions of the di...
