Q

What is multiple treatment interference

A
  • only want to manipulate one variable at a time otherwise we don’t know what is creating behaviour change

refers to whether patients, clinicians providing an intervention, people assessing outcomes, and/or data analysts were aware or unaware of the group to which patients were assigned.

Q

What is a changing criterion design?

A

brief BL
R+ introduce, then criterion for that R+ is changed over the corse of the evaluation.

Design in which an initial baseline phase is followed by a series of treatment phases consisting of successive and gradually changing criteria.

Q

When do you use a changing criterion design

A

Best suited for evaluating effects of instructional techniques on stepwise changes in rate, frequency, accuracy, duration, or latency of single target behavior
Is a good design for school settings
Final point. You can reach a level where you cannot go any higher or any faster due to subject limitations

Q

E Differential positive reinforcement of alternative behaviour

A

-2 BL. Both prompted to take a bite with food presented at her mouth 2-3in from lips. Accepted in 5s equalled praise
-praise plus escape (15s) contingent on food refusal, represented after 30s or end of escape interval.
-praise plus escape extinction
food kept in from of lips until new presentation or acceptance.
-session done after 10 bites or 20m
-variety if foods

Q

E DPRA plus physical guidance

A
-two conditions
contingent of refusal
contingent on non acceptance 
-within 5s why guidance was pressure on jaw to deposit bite in mouth 
-other steps same as BL
-failled
24
Q

E Differential negative reinforcement of alternative behaviour

A

same as before accept she received a token when accepting a bite.

  • 30min or after all tokens received
  • tokens increased over sessions
  • best
25
Q

E results

A

did not accept food during DPRA/or plus PG

  • introduced Nuk
  • refusal high during DPRA low during DNRA
26
Q

E limitations

A

more time consuming, should start with other.

27
Q

OC subject/setting

A

10yr old, profound ID
no sucking/finger feeding/lip closure
sessions at school 10-30min
tongue thrusts most common during lunch

28
Q

OC response definitions

A

tongue out
food expulsion
chewing
pushback

29
Q

OC observation/reliability

A

11 trained staff
trained via write material and practice prior to
-observations began when trained up to 80 IOA
-used partial interval observation system
-10s intervals and 7.5s observation periods (2.5 to record)
-also measured grams of food expelled via weight

30
Q

OC IOA

A

1/3 of sessions in experimental condition
53% of total sessions/and weight
-agreements over total
-agreement of weight 95%

31
Q

OC procedures/BL

A

pre experimental conditions- received message therapy to tongue and mouth area 2 yrs prior to the study -
-no changes made to rpefeeding program
-Differential reinforcement procedure was already implemented, but terminated during BL
BL: sitting in chair, catch tray placed under his chin. prior to meal all food was ground to puree
food presented without regard to tongue position. Each spoonful was 5g, terminated session when all 300g had been fed. 9-20m

32
Q

OC treatment

A

set up same as BL

  • food only presented when tongue in mouth
  • tongue moved back if outside of lower lip
33
Q

OC maintenance

A

data collected once each week following termination
treatment remained in effect
only difference were staff delivering treatment

34
Q

OC design

A

ABAB reversal

35
Q

OC social validation

A

repeated BL measures with 9 other individuals and video taped. Shown to OT/PT and asked to give their clinical oppinion

36
Q

OC results

A

decreased expulsion
increased chewing
decreased pushback

37
Q

T Purpose

A

The purpose of the current study was to demonstrate the efficacy of texture fading with periodic probes at higher textures, com- bined with reinforcement and extinction procedures, in establishing higher texture food consumption by children who display food selectivity.

38
Q

T participants

A
4 kids
all sever food selectivity 
All food problems and limited types/forms 
OT evaluated each child
all session in a room with a high chair 
window with mirror for observers
39
Q

T DV

A
  • treatment three meals per day, fed by Tx at home or clinic
  • Acceptance, opening mouth so food could be delivered within 5s
  • Swallow, clearing mouth of all food or liquid within 30s
  • Expulsion-emitting nay behaviour reusing food bigger than a pea out of the house/lips
  • Gag , making retching or hoking sounds before presentation
40
Q

T DV measure

A

percentage of occurrence out of total and times by 100

-pre and post food weights recorded

41
Q

T IOA

A
2nd observer recorded data on target behaviours 
-taken 22-39% of meals 
-mean IOA:
A 99.6
S 98.3
G 98.9
E 97.7
42
Q

T R+ assessment

A

presented with single stimulus and reaction recorded

during reinforcement assessment top 3-5 preferred items were tested for reinforcer efficacy

43
Q

T treatment

A
  • same treatment components in effect for all meals (beg texture, texture fading, and probe meals).
  • Praise contingent of accepting bites, 15s of toy play contingent on swallowing, escape extinction for IR, extinction for expelled bites
44
Q

T texture fading

A

treatment in effect for all meals.
-All meals lasted 30m or until age appropriate portion consumed
-texture started with what OT recommended
-probes were done to determine to next texture for fading.
-pureed, junior, ground, chopped
criterion at 80%, expulsion/gags below 20%
-if probe IR then textures combined
-if probe CR then next meal at that level until MC met

45
Q

T experimental design

A

multiple baseline across subjects design with probes.

46
Q

T results

A

was effective in estab- lishing consumption of higher texture food for 4 children with food selectivity.

  • differences among children on how fast fading occurred
  • grams consumed increased/decreased or stayed the same for some students
47
Q

T s/l

A
  • experimental design did not permit a com- plete systematic evaluation of the necessity of texture fading
  • extinction for one participant not added until the 10th meal
  • one clinical error in texture progression
48
Q

BSM purpose

A

The intent was to extend the behavioral management research by demonstrating that behavioral management pro- cedures can be effective throughout an agency’s staff population over an extended time period

49
Q

BSM Setting

A

School

  • 1:5 staff to kid ratio
  • 3 schools
  • all ID
50
Q

BSM DV

A
  • on task student working ind on an assigned task (functional and non functional/materials and activities)
  • to be functional they had to meet criteria for the five skill domains (leisure, vocational, social, community, self help)
  • not included self care, transitions, interactions with volunteers
51
Q

BSM observation

A

monitored bx for 10s CR if they met both criterion

-repeated for 3 intervals

52
Q

BSM reliability

A

23% of observations
agreements over disagreements time 100
on task 93

53
Q

BSM procedure

A
BL: educators ran usual classroom (including IEP)
Teacher in service and supervision: service and supervision program implemented for the 4 schools. (change to functional curriculum with definitions an rational, examples, used participative a management approach-staff make ideas)
2nd meeting - staff presented and feedback given. then implemented
-next principal visited class around 1 time per week, asked Q and prompted interactions, feedback given. Feedback alter faded.
54
Q

BSM experimental design

A

AB with systematic replications

55
Q

BSM results

A

-functional tasks increased in all classrooms
-results maintained during follow up
-using functional materials increased 62 on average
-

56
Q

BSM on task link

A

Did not find a relationship between increasing functional tasks and a decrease in on task behaviour.

57
Q

BSM acceptability

A

all staff liked, focus don functional tasks
