Response interruption and redirection (RIRD), a procedure in which demands are delivered contingent on stereotypy, has been shown to reduce vocal and motor stereotypy maintained by automatic reinforcement. However, RIRD can be time consuming and can interrupt ongoing activities and access to reinforcement for appropriate behavior. We attempted to address these limitations by comparing the effectiveness of RIRD using the standard 3-demand procedure to RIRD using just 1 demand. Results showed that RIRD with 1 demand was effective in reducing stereotypy for all participants, required fewer demands overall, and resulted in shorter implementation time. In addition, 2 participants showed an increase in appropriate play during RIRD. These results suggest RIRD with 1 demand may be an effective and less intrusive procedure for reducing stereotypy.
反应中断与转向（RIRD）是一种根据刻板行为来提出要求的程序，已被证明可以减少由自动强化维持的言语和运动刻板行为。然而，RIRD可能耗时较长，并且会打断正在进行的活动以及对恰当行为的强化获取。我们试图通过比较使用标准的3项要求程序的RIRD与仅使用1项要求的RIRD的有效性来解决这些局限性。结果表明，1项要求的RIRD对所有参与者减少刻板行为均有效，总体上所需的要求更少，且实施时间更短。此外，2名参与者在RIRD期间出现了恰当玩耍行为的增加。这些结果表明，1项要求的RIRD可能是一种有效且干扰性较小的减少刻板行为的程序。
