Abstract
AbstractIn the current study, experimenters implemented synchronous schedules of reinforcement to increase mask wearing for up to 30 min for six children under the age of 5 years. Additionally, for a subset of children, we evaluated whether mask wearing would continue under baseline conditions in their classroom with staff during 30 min sessions (treatment extension), and later throughout the day (all‐day probes). Results showed the intervention increased mask wearing for all children for up to 30 min. Additionally, treatment‐extension sessions and all‐day probes, conducted with some children, showed mask wearing maintained in their classroom with staff.
