Abstract
A table, which provides sensory reinforcement on completion
of form board tasks, was evaluated for use in
teaching and occupying severely mentally handicapped
children.
Sensory stimulation was found to be more effective
than edibles or social reinforcement in occupying two
children working at skills already acquired. The addition
of sensory reinforcement to social reinforcement was
found to enhance learning new skills in three children.
Sensory stimulation was no more effective than conventional
reinforcers with five children whose performance at
form board tasks was generally very low.
It is suggested that the use of such equipment be
investigated further with larger numbers of children.
