  • Title: The use of an escape contingency and a token economy to increase food acceptance.
    Author: Kahng S, Boscoe JH, Byrne S.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 2003; 36(3):349-53. PubMed ID: 14596575.
    Abstract:
    Escape (termination of a meal) and token-based differential reinforcement of alternative behavior were used as reinforcement to increase acceptance of food. Using a changing criterion design, the number of bites accepted and consumed was gradually increased to 15 bites per meal. These data suggest that, in some cases, escape may be a potent reinforcer for food acceptance.
