Project Title Project Title	Continuous vs. Brief Stimulus Comparison using Second-Order Schedule of Reinforcement
Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	Bourret, Jason
Description Description	Conditioned reinforcers such as praise or tokens are widely used in both academic and behavior management programs. However, a thorough comparison of these two types of conditioned reinforcers has not been conducted. The purpose of this proposed study is to compare brief (e.g., praise) and continuous (e.g., token) conditioned reinforcers. This may result in the identification of which type of consequence is most effective for the participant which in turn should also optimize the participant's learning and possibly minimize problem behavior.
