The Effects of Interpolated Reinforcement on Resistance to Extinction in Children Diagnosed with Autism: A Preliminary Investigation.

Peer reviewed

Higbee, Thomas S.; Carr, James E.; Patel, Meeta R. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2002

This study evaluated use of the interpolation of reinforcement effect, which combines intermittent (INT) and continuous reinforcement (CRF) schedules, with four young children with autism using a free-operant preparation. Results suggest that responding may be less resistant to extinction following interpolated CRF reinforcement than following INT…

Abnormal Classical Eye-Blink Conditioning in Autism.

Peer reviewed

Sears, Lonnie L.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1994

This study evaluated eye-blink conditioning in 11 persons with autism (ages 11 to 22). Compared to matched controls, persons with autism learned the task faster but performed short-latency, high-amplitude conditioned responses. Results suggest this population has the ability to rapidly associate paired stimuli but may have impairments in…
