Abstract

Multiple schedules are effective at decreasing challenging behavior and maintaining alternative behavior at acceptable levels. Currently, no conclusive guidance is available for empirically deriving multiple-schedule components (continuous reinforcement for alternative behavior and extinction for challenging behavior [discriminative stimulus] and extinction for both alternative and challenging behavior [delta stimulus]) during the schedule-thinning process. In the current investigation, we describe a terminal schedule probe method to determine delta stimulus starting points and strategies for subsequent schedule-thinning progressions to reach caregiver-informed terminal schedules. We review schedule-thinning outcomes for a clinical cohort using a consecutive controlled case series approach and report results for two groups: One group included applications of terminal probe thinning (n = 24), and the other involved traditional dense-to-lean thinning (n = 18). Outcomes suggest that the terminal schedule probe method produced effective treatments with less resurgence of challenging behavior and leaner, more feasible, multiple schedules.

应用终端计划探测法,为多计划的计划精简提供信息。
多重强化计划能有效减少挑战行为,并将替代行为维持在可接受的水平。目前,还没有确凿的指导意见,可用于在缩减时间表的过程中,根据经验推导出多重时间表的组成部分(对替代行为进行持续强化,对挑战行为进行消减[辨别刺激],对替代行为和挑战行为都进行消减[三角刺激])。在本次调查中,我们介绍了一种终端计划表探究方法,用于确定三角刺激的起始点和后续计划表细化过程的策略,以达到由照顾者提供信息的终端计划表。我们采用连续对照病例系列的方法回顾了临床队列的时间表稀释结果,并报告了两组的结果:其中一组应用了终端探针稀疏法(n = 24),另一组应用了传统的从密到疏的稀疏法(n = 18)。结果表明,末端计划探针法治疗效果显著,挑战性行为复发率较低,而且更精简、更可行、多计划。
