Tóm tắt

The effects of two different delivery schedules of two different therapeutic punishers on two behaviors of a child with autism were investigated. Contingent application of lemon juice immediately suppressed behavior on both a continuous and a VR 4 schedule of delivery. Manual guidance overcorrection resulted in an immediate reduction of behavior under an FR 1 schedule, but took nine sessions to produce the same level of response suppression under a VR 4 schedule. Implications for future research and the limitations of the present study are presented.
