Response interruption is a common intervention for problem behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement, but this intervention is challenging for caregivers to implement with consistent fidelity. In the current study, we challenged the integrity of response interruption across two participants by examining carry over into conditions in which the procedure was not implemented, by removing the presence of an interventionist, and by introducing delays to implementation. The results indicated that these challenges severely compromised treatment efficacy. Conditions under which response interruption procedures are likely to be effective and possible strategies to increase the effectiveness of response interruption are discussed.
反应中断是针对由自动强化维持的问题行为的一种常见干预措施,但这种干预措施对照顾者来说难以始终如一地忠实地实施。在当前的研究中,我们通过检查在未实施该程序的条件下的延续情况、去除干预者的存在以及引入实施延迟,对两名参与者的反应中断的完整性提出了挑战。结果表明,这些挑战严重损害了治疗效果。本文讨论了反应中断程序可能有效的条件以及提高反应中断有效性的可能策略。
