Abstract
Since the publication of the Reinforcement Survey Schedule (Cautela & Kastenbaum, 1967), it has been widely used by many therapists and researchers in a variety of settings. This paper discusses the evaluation and extensions of the schedule since its original publication. Studies indicate that the schedule is reliable and valid under the conditions of assessment. Clinical applications of the schedule during the interview, for covert conditioning, for reinforcer sampling, and use in institutions are discussed. Suggestions for the use of the schedule as a research tool are also presented.
