“…Subsequent reviews of the literature on punishment and SIB (e.g. Axelrod & Apsche, 1983;Guess, Helmstetter, Turnbull, & Knowlton, 1987;Matson & DiLorenzo, 1984;Romanczyk, 1986) have essentially produced the same conclusions about the relative effectiveness of punishment versus reinforcement in decreasing behavior (Linscheid, Iwata, Ricketts, Williams, & Griffin, 1990). This said, ethical issues associated with the use of aversive procedures argue strongly for the development of methods that shorten the duration of the punishment intervention and increase its effectiveness and maintenance over time.…”

We report a case in which a Self-Injurious Behavior Inhibiting System (SIBIS) device and a conditioned punisher were utilized to decrease and maintain suppression of severe head hitting/banging in a preschool child. After an experimental evaluation conducted at the hospital, SIBIS was implemented at home. The originality of this particular SIBIS case study is that programmed and systematic effort at establishing conditioned punishment was included in the intervention. Results indicate that a zero-level response was rapidly reached, and that the conditioned punisher (i.e. verbal prompt þ movement towards the place where SIBIS was kept) was sufficient to maintain treatment effects. Continuous assessment after treatment and formal observation session at 7 months follow-up revealed that SIBIS could be removed from the natural environment of the child while maintaining a therapeutic effect. These results were interpreted as the effects of the explicit pairing between the delivery of electric stimulations and previously neutral stimuli, which were initially ineffective to elicit any response, or to suppress SIB. Close and extended monitoring during and after treatment failed to reveal the presence of negative side effects associated with SIBIS, whereas a number of positive effects were observed.

“…Response recovery has been described in the literature using different terms, such as habituation (Linscheid, Iwata, Rickets, Williams, & Griffin, 1990), behavioral contrast (Azrin & Holz, 1966), resurgence (Okouchi, 2015), behavior release (Rasmussen, 2006), renewal, reinstatement, lapse, and relapse (Bouton, 2014;Bouton & Schepers, 2015). Each of these constructs is based on different assumptions and independent variables.…”

UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO PARÁ, BRASIL RESUMO O presente estudo é uma replicação sistemática do estudo clássico de Skinner (1938) usando um Jato de Ar Quente (JAQ) como punidor. Após o estabelecimento da resposta de pressionar a barra, seis ratos foram submetidos a duas sessões de extinção. Durante os 10 minutos iniciais da primeira sessão de extinção, metade dos sujeitos recebeu um JAQ para cada pressão à barra (punição). Os sujeitos que tiveram suas respostas punidas apresentaram uma supressão parcial dessa classe durante toda primeira sessão de extinção. No entanto, no final da segunda sessão de extinção, o número total de respostas para ambos os grupos (punido e não-punido) foi equivalente. Os presentes dados corroboram os achados de Skinner (1938) de que a punição pode ter efeitos parciais e temporários em determinados contextos. Por fim, discute-se como a eliciação de respostas competitivas, a intensidade e a natureza do estímulo e a duração da exposição à contingência aversiva seriam fatores importantes para explicar os resultados divergentes da literatura.Palavras-chave: punição, replicação, respostas competitivas, supressão, ratos, jato de ar quente ABSTRACT The present study was a systematic replication of the classic study by Skinner (1938) using a hot air blast (HAB) as the punisher. After lever press training, six rats underwent two extinction sessions. During the initial 10 min of extinction in the first session, half of the subjects received a HAB for every lever press (punishment). Subjects that received punishment made fewer lever presses during first extinction session, but the total number of responses in both groups was equivalent by the end of the second extinction session. The present data corroborate the findings of Skinner (1938) that the punishment may have partial and temporary effects in certain contexts. We discuss the ways in which the elicitation of competitive responses, the intensity and nature of the stimulus, and the duration of exposure to the aversive contingency are important factors that may explain the divergent results in the literature.

“…These data suggest that the scatter plot is used as an assessment tool in clinical practice, in spite of the fact that no replications of the Touchette et al (1985) findings have appeared in the literature. Although reference to the use of the scatter plot can be found in a number of studies (Arndorfer, Miltenberger, Woster, Rortvedt, & Gaffaney, 1994;Cameron, Luiselli, Littleton, & Ferrelli, 1996;Durand & Kishi, 1987;Kennedy & Itkonen, 1993;Kennedy & Souza, 1995;Lalli et al, 1993;Linscheid, Iwata, Ricketts, Williams, & Griffin, 1990;Ricketts et al, 1993Ricketts et al, , 1994, none of those reports presented the actual data. Thus, the extent to which behavior problems show temporal characteristics such as those observed for 2 of the participants in the Touchette et al study remains largely unknown.…”

The scatter plot is a commonly used assessment tool for identifying temporal patterns in the occurrence of behavior problems. However, the extent to which such patterns are frequently observed is unknown because little research has evaluated the general utility of the scatter plot. We conducted a large-scale analysis of within-and across-day occurrences of problem behavior by conducting continuous observations of 20 individuals living in four residential facilities. Data were recorded during 30-min intervals throughout participants' waking hours for 30 days by direct care staff and were converted into scatter plot formats. Five sets of data were excluded from further analysis due to poor interobserver agreement (below 80%). Visual analysis of the remaining 15 scatter plots indicated that none showed any reliable temporal pattern of responding. However, when the data were transformed into aggregate ''control charts'' based on statistical process control procedures, 12 of the 15 sets of data revealed one or more 30-min intervals during which problem behavior was more likely to occur. Results are discussed in terms of the practicality of applying statistical analyses to scatter plot data and of collecting data for the length of time needed to show statistical significance. It was concluded that detailed functional or descriptive analyses, which would reveal cause-effect or correlational relationships between behavior and specific environmental events, may be both more precise and more efficient forms of assessment.DESCRIPTORS: behavior problems, behavioral assessment, descriptive analysis, observation procedures, scatter plot, statistical process controlResearch on the treatment of severe behavior disorders conducted over the past 15 years has focused greater attention on the
