Children with feeding disorders may pack food (i.e., hold food in the mouth for a prolonged period of time). Treatments to target packing exist, including reinforcement contingencies, redistribution, and chasers, but these strategies are not always effective. Simultaneous presentation has also been used to reduce packing; however, it has not been faded out. The current study expanded this literature by using a treatment package, which included simultaneous presentation, to decrease packing in a 4-year-old boy with autism and food selectivity who packed nonpreferred foods. The simultaneous presentation component was then systematically faded out until generalization occurred.
患有进食障碍的儿童可能会把食物含在嘴里(即长时间把食物含在口中)。针对含食行为的治疗方法有多种,包括强化意外情况、重新分配食物和使用追食法,但这些策略并非总是有效。同时呈现食物的方法也被用于减少含食行为;然而,这种方法尚未被逐渐淘汰。本研究通过使用一个治疗方案扩展了这方面的文献,该方案包括同时呈现食物,以减少一名患有自闭症和食物选择性问题、会含住不喜欢食物的4岁男孩的含食行为。然后系统地逐渐减少同时呈现食物这一环节,直到出现泛化效果。
