Abstract

Adult Child Choice Behavior Conditioning (Psychology) Extinction, Psychological Female Humans Hyperventilation Intellectual Disability - epidemiology Male Mental Disorders - epidemiology Mental Disorders - psychology Mental Disorders - therapy Punishment Teaching - methods
The generality and long-term maintenance of a pairing procedure designed to improve the efficacy of less intrusive procedures were evaluated for the treatment of problem behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement exhibited by 2 individuals with developmental disabilities. Results suggested that a less intrusive procedure could be established as a conditioned punisher by pairing it with an effective punisher contingent on problem behavior. Generalization across multiple therapists was demonstrated for both participants. However, generalization to another setting was not achieved for 1 participant until pairing was conducted in the second setting. Long-term maintenance was observed with 1 participant in the absence of further pairing trials. Maintenance via intermittent pairing trials was successful for the other participant.
