A combined reversal and multiple baseline design was utilized to assess reduction of repetitive hand movements for three severely mentally retarded children. Stereotypy was assessed during baseline (reinforcement for on task behavior) and sensory change (rings and reinforcement, rings, and faded rings) conditions. The results indicated sensory change effectively reduced the target responses. These results were durable up to 4 hours. We conclude that the procedure used in this study is a non-intrusive intervention that is an extension of the current literature pertaining to sensory extinction.
采用反转与多重基线相结合的设计，对三名重度智力障碍儿童减少重复性手部动作的情况进行评估。在基线期（对任务行为给予强化）和感觉改变（响铃与强化、响铃、逐渐消失的响铃）条件下对刻板行为进行评估。结果表明，感觉改变有效减少了目标反应。这些结果可持续长达4小时。我们得出结论，本研究中使用的程序是一种非侵入性干预措施，是当前有关感觉消退文献的延伸。
