Instrumental learning and behavioral persistence in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity-disorder: does reinforcement frequency matter?

This dataset contains the raw and transformed data of an experimental study investigating instrumental learning and behavioral persistence in children with and without ADHD. In this study, children completed a free-operant instrumental learning task. The children completed the acquisition phase of the task under continuous (100%) or partial (20%) reinforcement, followed by a 4-min extinction phase. The dataset contains demographic information of the participants, as well as task performance measures for both acquisition and extinction.
