Book excerpt: "Response interruption redirection and non-contingent matched stimulation were applied to vocal stereotypy behaviour exhibited by children with autism spectrum disorder. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of both interventions on reducing rates of stereotypy. An additional aim was to assess if rates of appropriate vocalisations inadvertently increased during the implementation of the interventions. Participants were four children between the ages of twelve and sixteen with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. During the assessment phase, functional analyses were conducted with each participant. Results of the analyses show that all participants vocal stereotypy was automatically maintained. Preference and matched stimuli assessments were also conducted to prepare stimuli sets for use with the matched stimulation procedure. During the intervention phase, response interruption redirection and matched stimulation were compared using an alternating treatments design. Results showed reductions in vocal stereotypy for three out of four participants for both interventions, which persisted in follow up sessions within the school and home environment. Increases in appropriate vocalisations were found for one out of four participants. These results suggest that both response interruption redirection and matched stimulation were effective in reducing rates of vocal stereotypy to below baseline levels. These results also demonstrate that both treatments are efficacious when implemented in an educational setting. The implications of feasible and effective interventions for vocal stereotypy for clinicians and education providers are discussed, as well as the direction for future research within the area of vocal stereotypy".

Book excerpt: Stereotypy has been classified as repetitive behavior that does not serve an apparent function. Two procedures that have been found to effectively reduce rates of vocal stereotypy are Response Interruption and Redirection (e.g., Ahearn, Clark, & MacDonald, 2007) and Matched Stimulation (e.g., Rapp, 2007). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of Response Interruption & Redirection (RIRD) alone, Matched Stimulation (MS) alone, and MS implemented in conjunction with RIRD. Data were analyzed using a multitreatment design. Results for participant one suggested suppressive effects on vocal stereotypy were equivalent for all treatment conditions. For participant two, a slightly greater suppression of stereotypy was associated with MS + RIRD. Both participants exhibited greater frequency of appropriate vocalizations with conditions containing an RIRD component. Session length and number of implementations was also found to be lower during MS + RIRD for one participant. The data suggested that the addition of matched stimulation may facilitate the implementation of RIRD in applied settings; however replication with additional participants is needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to expand on research by evaluating the effects of response interruption redirection and response cost alone to reduce vocal stereotypy and to evaluate whether response cost increases the effectiveness of response interruption redirection. Treatment phases included response interruption redirection, response cost, and response interruption redirection plus response cost. We saw high rates of vocal stereotypy during baseline, toy baseline, and pre-intervention phases. During all treatment phases, we saw substantial decreases in stereotypy. For two of the three participants response interruption redirection and response cost was a slightly more effective treatment suggesting that using response interruption redirection with an additive of response cost may further suppress stereotypy. These results were replicated across phases. For one participant response interruption redirection was the most effective treatment. All three treatments reduced vocal stereotypy to clinically acceptable levels for two participants. For one participant, there was only a slight decrease in stereotypy when RC was implemented. We discuss limitations and areas for future research.

Download or read book Evaluating the Efficacy of Response Interruption and Redirection RIRD Using Empirically derived Consequences written by Catherine Kitts Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of response interruption and redirection (RIRD) to decrease vocal stereotypy (VS) in children with autism has been demonstrated in numerous studies in the recent literature (Martinez & Betz, 2013). Additionally, some studies have demonstrated concurrent increases in appropriate vocalizations (AV); however, no studies have evaluated the efficacy of praise alone as a reinforcer for appropriate behavior. Furthermore, although some studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of RIRD when implemented with both topographically-matched and unmatched demands, no studies have used systematic methods to identify the most effective and least intrusive redirection tasks. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of RIRD when using empirically-derived consequences for both AV and VS. In addition, a component analysis was conducted to determine the contribution of reinforcement and redirection procedures when empirically-derived consequences were used. Results indicated that, for these participants, reinforcement was insufficient to produce either decreases in VS or increases in AV, and redirection was the critical component of RlRD. Implications and future directions are discussed.

Download or read book A Model for Determining an Effective and Least Restrictive Treatment to Reduce Vocal Stereotypy written by Andrew D. King and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study evaluated a progression of treatments designed to determine a least restrictive procedure to reduce vocal stereotypy. The progression of treatments consisted of noncontingent reinforcement (NCR), differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO), DRO plus response interruption and redirection (RIRD), DRO plus time-out (TO), RIRD, and TO. An effective treatment (NCR) was identified for one of three participants after completing the initial progression of treatments. An effective treatment was identified for the other two participants when NCR was further evaluated after the initial progression through the treatments. Because the current study failed to replicate several research articles demonstrating the effectiveness of RIRD, an analysis of data collected during RIRD sessions was conducted. The analysis revealed that different decisions would have been made regarding the effectiveness of RIRD if an interrupted data collection method (as frequently used in RIRD research) had been used in the current study.
