The acquisition of discriminative behavior was studied in three autistic children with high-frequency self-stimulatory behavior. It was found that: (a) the children did not acquire the discrimination while engaged in self-stimulation; (b) suppression of self-stimulation produced an increase in correct responding, with eventual acquisition of the discrimination; (c) successful discrimination learning was always associated with a reduction in self-stimulatory behavior, even when aversive stimuli were not used for suppression.
这项研究旨在探讨三位具有高频自我刺激行为的自闭症儿童的辨别行为习得情况。研究发现:(a)儿童在自我刺激时无法习得辨别;(b)抑制自我刺激会增加正确反应,最终习得辨别;(c)即使不使用厌恶刺激来抑制,成功的辨别学习也总是与自我刺激行为的减少相关。
