Long-term use of electrical aversion treatment with self-injurious behavior

Contains fulltext : 29307.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)Twelve severely and profoundly mentally retarded individuals with life-threatening self-injurious behaviors were exposed to electrical aversion treatment using a remotely controlled device. Long-term effectiveness was assessed for periods ranging from 2 to 47 months for the 12 individuals, respectively. The degree of imposed physical restraint was used as the major dependent variable. With two individuals, the treatment failed to suppress self-injurious behavior. With seven individuals, however, suppression was nearly complete in that physical restraints were no longer necessary. With three individuals moderate effects were obtained, in that, although a substantial decrease of imposed physical restraint had been achieved, they still needed daily administrations of electrical aversive stimuli. The results are discussed in terms of the practical application of this procedure

Meta-Analytic Study on Treatment Effectiveness for Problem Behaviors With Individuals Who Have Mental Retardation

Contains fulltext : 29242.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access)Meta-analysis of 482 empirical studies on treatment of problem behaviors of individuals with mental retardation was conducted. A metric of treatment effectiveness was computed for 1,451 comparisons between baselines and treatments, 34 topographies of problem behavior, and 64 treatment procedures. Analysis of variance with percentage of nonoverlapping data as the dependent variable and comparison as the basic unit of analysis revealed that treatment of externally destructive behaviors had significantly lower mean percentage of nonoverlapping data scores than did treatment of socially disruptive and internally maladaptive behaviors. Response contingent procedures were significantly more effective than were other procedures. No significant interactions were found. Results of a stepwise regression showed that only performing a functional analysis made a significant contribution. These results may lead to more objective assignment of treatment procedures to problem behaviors
