Advances in Behavioral Intervention for Stereotypy: The Effect of Alternative Response Training

Sunday, May 30, 2004

3:00 PM–3:50 PM

Back Bay D

Area: AUT/DDA; Domain: Applied Research

Chair: Gary M. Pace (May Institute)

Discussant: James E. Carr (Western Michigan University)

Abstract: Learning Objectives Attendees will learn alternative response training strategies Attendees will learn two implementation variations: contingent vs noncontingent Attendees will learn of the influence of stimulus variables on the expression of stereotypy

Contingent Practice of an Alternative Behavior in the Treatment of Motor Stereotypy in a Child with Autism

JOSEPH N. RICCIARDI (Hampstead Hospital), James K. Luiselli (May Institute), Jennifer Gower (May Institute)

Abstract: Using an alternating treatments design, the authors exposed a 5 year old boy with autism and stereotypy to brief contingent practice of alternative behavior. The alternative behavior consisted of a rapid repetition of motor responses which competed with stereotypy. The sequence was quickly implemented--lasting no more than 10 seconds. The data reveal a significant reduction while in intervention phase. The intervention was extended to the natural setting and remained in place for long-term follow-up at 2 and 3 months. The intervention effects were sustained.

Practice of an Alternative Behavior for Object Stereotypy: Comparison of Contingent and Noncontingent Implementation across Two Eliciting Stimuli

JAMES K. LUISELLI (May Institute), Joseph N. Ricciardi (Hampstead Hospital), Marjorie Zubow (May Institute), Kimberly Laster (May Institute)

Abstract: The authors evaluated contingent and noncontingent practice of an alternative behavior (appropriate play) as intervention for stereotypy that occurred with two play objects in a 5-year old boy with autism. Contingent practice was implemented as a consequence for stereotypy, and the rate of noncontingent practice was matched (yoked) to that schedule. On average, stereotypy with one object (blocks) was less frequent during implementation of both contingent and noncontingent practice, but neither procedure had a sustained positive effect with the second play object (figures). Appropriate play did not improve consistently with intervention. Issues related to treating object stereotypy are discussed.
