Generalization of the two sounds and their cognates, the |g| and |f|, was tested to items consisting of spontaneously produced single words (naming pictures) and the same words in sentences read by the children. Results showed that the children generalized both final target sounds to a high degree in both contexts. Some generalization also occurred to the cognates which had never been trained. Although individual variability was observed, data showed that the |v| generalized to a greater number of items than the |k|, and possibly, required less training. Generalization to the |f| items was also better than to the |g| items. Response patterns suggested that final consonant production had been thoroughly acquired since variables that could have disrupted or interfered with generalization had no effect on the children's performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100080,"journal":{"name":"Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities","volume":"4 3","pages":"Pages 267-284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0270-4684(84)90005-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82487282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phase I consisted of reinforcement with restraint for increasinglu longer periods of noninjury and timeout from restraint for self-injurious behavior (SIB). An ABAB reversal design was used to demonstrate the rapid reduction of SIB in Phase I. At the end of Phase I, Harry was displaying low levels of SIB, i.e., less than one episode per day, but had begun self-restraining by holding objects in his hands. Self-restraint was treated in Phase II by fading the size of the held objects to a point where he ceased holding them, An appropriate form of restraint, wearing eyeglasses, was substituted and Harry continues to wear them after four and a half years. A maintenance program was instituted following Phase II that consisted of token reinforcement for adaptive behavior, parent training, and an enriched program day that included vocational training and one-to-one interactions with a unit staff member. The four year follow-up results revealed that Harry's SIB is virtually non-existent and consists of symbolic taps to the nose or very light arm bites. The present study and work of others suggests that the therapeutic use of the reinforcing properties of restraint to treat self-injurious individuals appears to be an extremely effective way of; a) treating SIB, b) overcoming the iatrogenic effects of chronic restraint usage, and c) treating self-restrainers by substituting appropriate forms of restraint.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100080,"journal":{"name":"Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities","volume":"4 1","pages":"Pages 1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0270-4684(84)90014-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81372166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study consisted of two experiments, with two phases of training in each. The first phase was directed at establishing a nonnumerical, differentiated response to a prompt, the shape of which was gradually transformed to make the discriminative stimulus. The second phase was designed (a) to extend the control of this stimulus to the required numerical operations, and (b) to gradually eliminate the first trained nonnumerical components of the response chain and the experimental conditions (presence of the experimenter and immediate feedback) used for acquisition training. Five subjects participated in Experiment I, and four in Experiment II. The results indicated that seven subjects acquired the target skill in a nearly errorless fashion in 75 to 172 minutes of individual training time. The two other subjects required several programmatic alterations before completing the training. Their total training time was much longer, that is, 212 and 318 minutes, respectively. Moreover, the obtained findings revealed that whenever measured, the acquired skill transferred to similar, more advanced problems, and was maintained over periods ranging from several weeks to several months. The technical aspects are discussed in terms of the literature on stimulus control by prompts.
