Use of primary and secondary reinforcers after performance of a 1 mile walk/run by boys with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Based on visual inspection of time (sec.) across 8 exercise sessions for each, 3 reinforcement techniques of mainly token exchange and verbal praise paired with token exchange, were mildly associated with improvement of the cardiovascular performances of 5 young boys with ADHD. Specific reinforcement techniques improved time for this 1-mile walk/run by 5 boys with ADHD.
