Project Title Project Title	An Evaluation of the Generalized Nature of Conditioned Reinforcers
Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	Bourret, Jason
Description Description	A variety of items are used to reward children for engaging in tasks that are beneficial to their long-term success. Tokens may be used to reward children when these items are unavailable, or will be delivered at a delay. It may be the case that tokens are more valuable when they can be exchanged for a large variety of items, relative to tokens that are exchangeable for only one item. This study will evaluate whether or not increasing the number of items for which tokens are changeable increases their motivational value.
