We evaluated a unique procedure to establish compliance with instructions in four young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who had low levels of compliance. Our procedure included methods to establish a novel therapist as a source of positive reinforcement, reliably evoke orienting responses to the therapist, increase the number of exposures to instruction-compliance-reinforcer contingencies, and minimize the number of exposures to instruction-noncompliance-no reinforcer contingencies. We further alternated between instructions with a high probability of compliance (high-p instructions) with instructions that had a prior low probability of compliance (low-p instructions) as soon as low-p instructions lost stimulus control. The intervention is discussed in relation to the conditions necessary for the development of stimulus control and as an example of a variation of translational research.
我们评估了一种独特的程序，用于让四名被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）且依从性较低的幼儿遵守指令。我们的程序包括一些方法，以确立一位新的治疗师作为积极强化的来源，可靠地引发对治疗师的定向反应，增加对指令 - 依从 - 强化物偶联的接触次数，并尽量减少对指令 - 不依从 - 无强化物偶联的接触次数。一旦低概率指令失去刺激控制，我们就会在高依从概率指令（高p指令）和先前低依从概率指令（低p指令）之间交替。本文将结合刺激控制发展所需的条件来讨论这种干预措施，并将其作为转化研究变体的一个例子。
