Summary
Bedtime resistance in children was effectively treated using a bedtime pass system combined with extinction. This approach eliminated resistance without causing extinction bursts, offering a novel behavioral intervention for parents.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Psychology
- Behavioral Analysis
- Child Sleep Behavior
Background:
- Bedtime resistance is a prevalent issue for young children and their families.
- Existing behavioral interventions for sleep problems sometimes yield extinction bursts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of a combined bedtime pass and extinction intervention for pediatric bedtime resistance.
- To determine if this combined approach prevents extinction bursts.
Main Methods:
- The study involved 4 children aged 3 years exhibiting bedtime resistance.
- Treatment utilized a bedtime pass system coupled with extinction procedures.
- A component analysis was performed on one participant.
Main Results:
- The combined intervention successfully eliminated bedtime resistance in all 4 children.
- No extinction bursts were observed during the treatment.
- Component analysis indicated the combined intervention yielded the best results.
Conclusions:
- The bedtime pass plus extinction is an effective treatment for pediatric bedtime resistance.
- This behavioral intervention offers a viable alternative to extinction alone, avoiding common side effects.
- Findings support the application of behavior analysis in pediatric care and clinical psychology.

01:30Typical Model Studies
Fluid mechanics model studies often utilize scaled-down systems to predict fluid behavior in full-scale environments, such as river flows, dam spillways, and structures interacting with open surfaces. Maintaining Froude number similarity in river models is crucial, as it replicates surface flow features like wave patterns and velocities.

Scaled hydraulic models of dam spillways provide a practical way to replicate and study the intricate flow dynamics of these structures. Often built to a 1:15 ratio, these models allow for observing critical water behavior, such as velocity distribution, flow patterns, and energy dissipation.
