This study investigated strategies for increasing the number of responses that can be obtained from young children during visual reinforcement audiometry. Subjects included normal 1- and 2-yr-old children. Responses before habituation were studied as a function of age, reinforcer conditions, and test sessions. It was found that: (1) using two reinforcers led to more responses before habituation than use of a single reinforcer; (2) after habituation in test session 1 and a 10-min break, most 1-yr-olds demonstrated a minimum of five additional responses in test session 2; and (3) 2-yr-olds habituated more rapidly than 1-yr-olds.
