Objective- Viewing the effects on performance using external reinforcements at regular

intervals.

Changed: Viewing the effects on performance using two different external reinforcements at
regular intervals.

We plan to take up 2 groups of ADHD to meet the objective-

Group 1- The one who will be provided with external reinforcements at regular intervals
by breaking the entire task into shorter segments.

Changed: this group will be given material reinforcements at regular intervals or

after each task completion

Group 2- This group will be of children who will be provided a task as well. The only
difference would be that the reinforcements here will only be given after the task has been
completed.

Changed: this group will be given an non-Material reinforcement or a break of 2

minutes at regular intervals or after the completion of each task.

MATERIAL USED-

 Flash cards: Visual pictorial representation of what is expected out of the children.

with the task.

 Maze cards- One with instructions and the other one without instructions.
 A Sheet with three geometrical figures (Triangle, Square and Circle)

curriculum. It was also made sure that the children were familiar with the activities.
