Abstract
Objective. According to literature in occupational therapy and psychology, intrinsic motivation is thought to be enhanced if people can keep the end-product of an activity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of keeping an end-product on intrinsic motivation. Method. Fifty participants chose one of four activities (painting a ceramic vase, decorating cookies, stringing beads for a necklace, creating stationery) and performed two conditions (keep, no-keep) in counterbalanced order. Participants were timed in each condition and, after each condition, ranked their self-determination and competence, which are psychological needs underlying intrinsic motivation. Participants were interviewed at the end of the study to examine their experiences. Results. Participants worked significantly longer on a chosen activity when the end-product could be kept and rated themselves significantly more self-determined and competent after performing the keep condition. However, further analysis revealed that these results depended on the activity chosen. Conclusion. The findings support that keeping an end-product can enhance performance of an activity. However, because results were not consistent across all activity choices, further research is needed to characterize the meaningfulness of particular activities.

Abstract
The efficacy of a feeding program to decrease drooling and increase vocalizations by promoting mouth closure was explored in two boys with cerebral palsy through the use of oral facilitation techniques. A single-subject ABA design was repeated across subjects. Baseline 1 consisted of 5 (Subject 1) and 10 (Subject 2) half-hour sessions during which the subjects were fed applesauce and apple juice without treatment. A 1-hr play session followed, during which saliva was collected on an absorbent bib and weighed. Bilabial vocalizations produced by the subjects were recorded and counted. A 12-session intervention phase followed, which was identical to the baseline phase except that treatment was implemented. Treatment consisted of techniques to reduce tactile hypersensitivity before feeding and the application of jaw control during feeding. Baseline 2 consisted of 7 sessions identical to baseline 1. The results suggest that this intervention decreases drooling but does not increase bilabial vocalizations. Longer treatment and follow-up may be needed in future efficacy studies.
