A comparison of simultaneous and delayed reinforcement as treatments for food selectivity

L Kern et al. J Appl Behav Anal. 1996 Summer.

Abstract

This study compared the relative efficacy of providing simultaneous or delayed reinforcement on food acceptance during meals. The participant was a 7 year-old boy with pervasive developmental disorder and a history of food selectivity. Results indicated that both procedures were effective in increasing acceptance; however, the simultaneous reinforcement procedure produced more rapid behavior change and a higher overall percentage of food acceptance.
