The critical conditions for reinforcement specified by the Premack principle and the response deprivation hypothesis were compared in an academic setting. Four EMR children served as subjects and on-task math and reading were the dependent variables. Each child was presented with two schedules in a counterbalanced fashion using a withdrawal design. One of these schedules contained the variable of response deprivation while the other did not. For one pair of children, the schedules satisfied the appropriate probability differential specified by the Premack principle while the other pair's schedules did not. The results indicated increases of instrumental responding for all of the children when response deprivation was present but never when it was absent from a schedule. These results provided a systematic replication of recent applied research supporting the response deprivation hypothesis and were contrary to much previous research supporting the Premack principle. |
