Sensory extinction and sensory reinforcement principles for programming multiple adaptive behavior change.

A Rincover, R Cook, A Peoples

    Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis
    |January 1, 1979

    Summary

    Sensory reinforcement plays a key role in modifying behavior for children with developmental disabilities. Identifying sensory reinforcers for self-stimulation can lead to increased appropriate play and lasting treatment gains.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Developmental Disabilities Research
    • Applied Behavior Analysis

    Background:

    • Self-stimulatory behavior is common in children with developmental disabilities.
    • Understanding the function of behavior is crucial for effective intervention.
    • Sensory reinforcement may play a significant role in maintaining certain behaviors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of sensory reinforcement in self-stimulation.
    • To determine if identified sensory reinforcers can promote appropriate play.
    • To examine the durability of treatment gains in developmentally disabled children.

    Main Methods:

    • Sensory Extinction procedures were used to identify sensory reinforcers for self-stimulatory behavior.
    • A reversal design was employed to systematically remove and reintroduce sensory consequences.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Children's engagement with toys producing preferred sensory stimulation was assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • Self-stimulatory behavior was maintained by specific sensory consequences.
    • Removal of sensory reinforcers led to the extinction of self-stimulatory behavior.
    • Identified sensory reinforcers also facilitated new, appropriate toy play.

    Conclusions:

    • Sensory reinforcement is a functional factor in self-stimulatory behavior.
    • Natural sensory reinforcement communities can be leveraged for behavior modification.
    • Multiple treatment gains, including increased play, were achieved and maintained.
