An analysis of overcorrection movements.

P Roberts, B A Iwata, T E McSween

    American Journal of Mental Deficiency
    |May 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Overcorrection effectively reduced stereotyped behaviors in adults with profound intellectual disability. However, the overcorrection responses themselves did not consistently increase, highlighting the need for reinforcement.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Intellectual Disability Research
    • Applied Behavior Analysis

    Background:

    • Stereotyped behaviors are common in individuals with profound intellectual disability.
    • Overcorrection is a behavioral intervention aimed at reducing target behaviors.
    • The effectiveness and response patterns of overcorrection require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of overcorrection in reducing stereotyped behaviors in profoundly intellectually disabled adults.
    • To analyze the response rates of overcorrection activities during treatment.
    • To explore the necessity of reinforcement contingencies for overcorrection responses.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed reversal designs to assess treatment effects.
    • Applied overcorrection procedures topographically dissimilar to target stereotyped behaviors.
    • Monitored both the target behavior and the overcorrection response behaviors.

    Main Results:

    • Overcorrection significantly reduced stereotyped behaviors across all three subjects.
    • Rates of overcorrection responses were variable or decreased during treatment phases.
    • The study observed that overcorrection alone may not increase associated response behaviors.

    Conclusions:

    • Overcorrection is an effective technique for reducing stereotyped behaviors.
    • Overcorrection responses may not increase without specific reinforcement.
    • Differential reinforcement procedures are crucial when using overcorrection, particularly with individuals with intellectual disabilities.
