Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to investigate the effectiveness of mothers and fathers as social reinforcing agents for their preschool children on a simple motor task. It was hypothesized that there would be no difference between five-year-old males and five-year-old females in their responses to parental social reinforcement. It was also hypothesized that there would be no difference in the effectiveness of mothers and fathers as social reinforcing agents for their preschool-age daughters and/or sons.
