Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	Graff, Richard
Description Description	This is a follow-up study to the Graff, Arsenault, & Trucksess studies (2015-2017) on evalauating the effects of motivating operation manipulations on the rate of skill acquisition in children with autism. In that study, acquisition of simple discriminations was slower when participants had pre-session access to the reinforcer used in teaching sessions. In this study, we are evaluating the role of presession access to a substitutable reinforcer on rate of skill acquisition.
