How many mands a child has doesn't have anything to do with the chances

of scrolling.

Basically, if a child is scrolling through all of the responses, the

responses haven't been delineated, or differentiated enough. A child

who is manding for cookie should be given a cookie, not a glass of

juice. If they're given a glass of juice, then the next time they want

cookie, they'll use their mand for something else, and are more likely

to mand for cookie when they want juice. And so on.

Not sure where you can read more about it, but hopefully this is a start.
