Covert self-injurious behavior (i.e., behavior that occurs in the absence of other people) can be difficult to treat. Traditional treatments typically have involved sophisticated methods of observation and often have employed positive punishment procedures. The current study evaluated the effectiveness of a variable momentary differential reinforcement contingency in the treatment of covert self-injury. Neither positive punishment nor extinction was required to produce decreased skin picking.
隐蔽自伤行为(即在没有其他人在场的情况下发生的行为)可能难以治疗。传统的治疗方法通常涉及复杂的观察方法,并且经常采用正惩罚程序。本研究评估了可变瞬间差异强化条件在隐蔽性自伤治疗中的有效性。减少皮肤搔抓既不需要正惩罚也不需要消退。
