The relationship between derived mutually entailed relations and the function of challenging behavior in children with autism: Comparing the PEAK-E-PA and the QABF
2017, Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceCitation Excerpt :Approaches to problem behavior reduction typically involve (a) identifying or teaching an appropriate alterative behavior (e.g., a communicative behavior) that serves the same function as the challenging behavior, and (b) differentially providing access to the maintaining consequence contingent upon the appropriate alternative behavior rather than the challenging behavior. Some common treatment procedures include functional communication training (FCT; e.g., Carr & Durand, 1985; Durand & Carr, 1991; Tiger, Hanley, & Bruzek, 2008), differential reinforcement of alternative or incompatible behaviors (DRA/DRI; e.g., Chowdhury & Benson, 2011; Smith, 1987; Vollmer & Iwata, 1992), and non-contingent reinforcement strategies (NCR; e.g., Carr et al., 2000; Carr, Severtson, & Lepper, 2009; Wilder, Normand, & Atwell, 2005). Such an approach to understanding and treating challenging behaviors exhibited by individuals with autism, however, may be limited in application once individuals begin to acquire meaningful language.
Pica in persons with developmental disabilities: Approaches to treatment
2013, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :DRI was also used by Donnelly and Olczak (1990) for cigarette pica of two adults with ID. They also reported positive effects similar to Smith (1987). Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) has also been used for cigarette pica.
Assessment, behavioral treatment, and prevention of pica: Clinical guidelines and recommendations for practitioners
2012, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :In the treatment of pica, however, no studies show that DRA alone produces reductions near zero rate and over a 24-h period for 7 days a week. Smith (1987), for example, described the reduction of pica displayed by a 23-year-old male with autism and a profound intellectual disability following differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors (DRI). The rate of pica at the end of treatment was 3.7 per day, still a high rate of pica in a clinical setting.
