Sensory awareness training procedures were used to reduce the self-stimulatory behavior of a profoundly retarded female. Self-stimulatory behaviors were directly observed and recorded using a 15-second momentary time sample procedure for 10-minute recording periods. An alternating treatment design was used to compare the effects of treatment and nontreatment. Tactile, olfactory, and gustatory materials were used to stimulate the person's senses. Generalization was assessed across noncompliant behaviors. The results indicate that sensory awareness training reduced self-stimulatory behaviors, but that these behaviors were still being emitted at a high rate. Suggestions for further research are made, and the use of "traditional" sensory awareness training procedures is questioned.
感觉意识训练程序被用于减少一名重度智力障碍女性的自我刺激行为。使用15秒瞬间时间抽样程序,在10分钟的记录时段内直接观察和记录自我刺激行为。采用交替治疗设计来比较治疗和不治疗的效果。使用触觉、嗅觉和味觉材料来刺激该人的感官。对不依从行为进行了泛化评估。结果表明,感觉意识训练减少了自我刺激行为,但这些行为仍以较高频率出现。提出了进一步研究的建议,并对“传统”感觉意识训练程序的使用提出了质疑。
