The Premack principle states that any Response A can reinforce any other Response B if the independent rate of A is greater than the independent rate of B. This theory demonstrates reinforcer relativity, where the relative probabilities of responses can be more impactful than preference. Applying the Premack principle involves arranging the environment to restrict access to certain responses based on relative probabilities of a set of given responses. Though the Premack principle is described in modern behavior analytic texts, Konarski et al. identified a lack of empirical evidence to support its application. The purpose of the current paper is to systematically review the extant literature using the Premack principle and evaluate how and if researchers have applied reinforcer relativity as described by Premack and the subsequent effectiveness of these procedures. Additionally, we make recommendations for practitioners and future researchers based on our findings.

Premack 原则指出，如果 A 的独立比率大于 B 的独立比率，则任何响应 A 都可以加强任何其他响应 B。该理论证明了强化物相对性，其中响应的相对概率可能比偏好更有影响力。应用 Premack 原则涉及安排环境以根据一组给定响应的相对概率限制对某些响应的访问。尽管 Premack 原则在现代行为分析文本中有所描述，但 Konarski 等人。确定缺乏经验证据来支持其应用。当前论文的目的是使用 Premack 原理系统地回顾现有文献，并评估研究人员如何以及是否应用了 Premack 描述的强化相对论以及这些程序的后续有效性。此外，我们根据我们的发现为从业者和未来的研究人员提出建议。
