Behavioral intervention has positive effects on feeding problems of children with autism and food selectivity (FS), and researchers have evaluated a variety of specific behavioral interventions. Confidence in the effects of some specific interventions on feeding such as the high-probability instructional sequence (HPS) is limited by a lack of replication. Therefore, we assessed the generality of the HPS by replicating the intervention in children with autism and FS. Contrary to prior research, the HPS did not improve feeding responses for three consecutive children enrolled in the study. We discuss the results in relation to publishing failures to replicate without experimental control in applied behavior analysis research.
行为干预对自闭症儿童的喂养问题和食物选择性（FS）有积极影响，研究人员已经评估了多种特定的行为干预措施。由于缺乏复制，因此对某些特定干预措施（如高概率指令序列（HPS））对喂养的影响的信心是有限的。因此，我们通过在患有自闭症和 FS 的儿童中复制该干预措施来评估 HPS 的普遍性。与先前的研究相反，该 HPS 并未改善连续三个入组研究的儿童的喂养反应。我们将结果与应用行为分析研究中没有实验对照的复制失败进行了讨论。
