| Abstract: | Four severely retarded boys, each a member of a different play group, experienced either contingent or a combination of both contingent and noncontingent reinforcement from adults for cooperative play. After the contingent adults acquired stimulus control of the children's behavior, four stimulus control probes were conducted. The contingent adult's control was maintained in a nonexperimental setting. Play was evoked when both adults entered the experimental playroom together. The contingent adult did not control responding when he entered without the cup which held the reinforcement candy. For those Ss who had experienced only contingent reinforcement from adults, stimulus control generalized to novel adults; whereas for Ss who had experienced both contingent and noncontingent reinforcement, control did not generalize. |
