Treatment plans focused on problem behavior often include punishment contingencies to decrease problem behavior. Immediate punishers are typically more effective than delayed punishers, but immediate delivery of a punisher is not always possible. Strategies need to be developed to increase the suppressive effects of delayed punishers. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of a treatment package involving replaying a video recording of problem behavior immediately before delivering a 15 min delayed time-out. This treatment package may prove to be an accessible and inexpensive strategy when using delayed punishers.
专注于问题行为的治疗计划通常包括惩罚性应急措施以减少问题行为。即时惩罚通常比延迟惩罚更有效，但即时实施惩罚并不总是可行的。需要制定策略来增强延迟惩罚的抑制效果。本研究证明了一种治疗方案的有效性，该方案包括在实施15分钟延迟暂停之前立即重放问题行为的录像。在使用延迟惩罚时，这种治疗方案可能被证明是一种容易获得且成本低廉的策略。
