摘要
Drifke, Tiger, and Gifford (2019) showed that preschool-aged children’s preferences for otherwise equated choice- and no-choice conditions could be shifted by pairing either condition with higher quality stimuli (either higher preference or larger magnitude edibles). The current study replicated this arrangement and examined changes in equated choice and no-choice selections when each were intermittently associated with either immediate or delayed access to preferred stimuli. Similar to Drifke et al., these pairings produced reliable and systematic shifts in participant preferences.
