Abstract

Behavioral interventions are highly efficacious in reducing elopement. However, few studies explicitly examine elopement during transitions, and they typically do not discuss distance traveled during the transition. We report on a successful treatment consisting of functional communication to “go see” stimuli during transitions along with blocking and competing stimuli during reinforcer delays for a young boy whose elopement occurred during transitions and was maintained by positive reinforcement in the form of access to tangibles. During generalization, the distance of the transitions was gradually increased while maintaining low levels of elopement.

使用功能性交流和竞争性刺激逐步增加过渡距离来治疗明显维持的离家出走行为

行为干预在减少离家出走方面非常有效。然而，很少有研究明确研究了过渡期间的私奔行为，而且这些研究通常不讨论过渡期间所走的距离。我们报告了一种成功的治疗方法，该方法包括在过渡期间与 "去看 "刺激物进行功能性交流，以及在强化物延迟期间阻断和竞争刺激物。在普及过程中，过渡的距离逐渐增加，同时保持较低的逃逸水平。

期刊介绍： Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
