  • Title: Using token reinforcement to increase walking for adults with intellectual disabilities.
    Author: Krentz H, Miltenberger R, Valbuena D.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 2016 Dec; 49(4):745-750. PubMed ID: 27287667.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of token reinforcement, using an ABAB reversal design, for increasing distance walked for adults with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities at an adult day-training center. Five participants earned tokens for walking 50-m laps and exchanged tokens for back-up reinforcers that had been identified through preference assessments. Token reinforcement resulted in a substantial increase from baseline in laps walked for 4 participants.
