Reinforcing Moderately and Severely Retarded Students for On-Task Behavior and Production Rate: A Comparison during Two Tasks of Varying Complexity.

Crapps, John; And Others

Data suggested that there may be inherent differences in the susceptibility of simple versus complex tasks to external reinforcement. (CL)
