A functional analysis suggested that rumination exhibited by an adult with autism was maintained by automatic reinforcement. Next, a preference assessment with three flavor sprays (i.e., flavored sprays used by dieters) showed that apple pie spray was most preferred. Finally, the effects of fixed-time delivery of the apple pie spray on levels of rumination were evaluated. The spray reduced rumination, and the participant was taught to self-administer the spray.
一项功能分析表明，自闭症成人的反刍行为是由自动强化维持的。接下来，通过三种风味喷雾（即节食者使用的风味喷雾）的偏好评估显示，苹果派喷雾最受欢迎。最后，评估了固定时间给予苹果派喷雾对反刍水平的影响。喷雾减少了反刍，并且教会了参与者自行使用喷雾。
