  • Title: Using intermittent reinforcement to program maintenance of verbal/nonverbal correspondence.
    Author: Baer RA, Blount RL, Detrich R, Stokes TF.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 1987; 20(2):179-84. PubMed ID: 3610897.
    Abstract:
    We investigated the effects of an intermittent reinforcement procedure on maintenance of verbal/nonverbal correspondence with nutritious snack choices in a day-care setting. Nutritious snack choices were first established using correspondence training procedures in a multiple baseline across three children. Withdrawal of the procedures with one subject led to loss of appropriate responding, suggesting the need for a maintenance strategy. The intermittent reinforcement procedure was implemented in a multiple baseline across subjects. Nutritious snack choices were observed consistently during the intermittent reinforcement condition and the subsequent extinction condition.
