“…Another possible example of the manipulation of an EO is the use of satiation techniques to reduce chronic vomiting or rumination. Rast, Johnston, and colleagues conducted a series of studies investigating the finding that consumption of large quantities of food can suppress rumination in some subjects (Johnston, Greene, Rawal, Vazin, & Winston, 1991;Rast, Johnston, & Drum, 1984;Rast, Johnston, Drum, & Conrin, 1981;Rast, Johnston, Ellinger-Allen, & Drum, 1985;Rast, Johnston, Lubin, & Ellinger-Allen, 1988). It was posited that the reductive effect of the satiation diet may be due to biochemical variables (i.e., nutritive effects), mechanical variables (i.e., volume of stomach contents and stomach distension), satiation of oropharyngeal and esophageal stimulation, or some combination of these variables.…”

The influence of antecedent events on behavior disorders has been relatively understudied by applied behavior analysts. This lack of research may be due to a focus on consequences as determinants of behavior and a historical disagreement on a conceptual framework for describing and interpreting antecedent variables. We suggest that antecedent influences can be described using terms derived from basic behavioral principles and that their functional properties can be adequately interpreted as discriminative and establishing operations. A set of studies on assessment and treatment of behavior disorders was selected for review based on their relevance to the topic of antecedent events. These studies were categorized as focusing on assessment of antecedent events, antecedent treatments for behavior disorders maintained by either positive or negative reinforcement, and special cases of antecedent events in behavior disorders. Some directions for future research on antecedent influences in the analysis and treatment of behavior disorders are discussed.

“…Although the degree of change produced by each individual component was apparently small, such changes may have meaningful effects on the dangerous side effects associated with rumination (Johnston, Greene, Rawal, Vazin, & Winston, 1991). For example, if the full treatment reduced rumination by 12 responses per meal, that is 36 responses per day and it projects to be over 13 000 episodes per year.…”

Behavioral Interventions

A multi-component intervention was used to treat chronic rumination exhibited by an adult female diagnosed with a developmental disability. The intervention consisted of: (a) interruption of precursor behavior, (b) the alternation of 10-min periods of continued instruction that involved walking and working with (c) 10-min periods in which instructions were not delivered but a variable time 5-s schedule of noncontingent attention was programmed, and (d) a 1-min differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) schedule. During the intervention, rumination decreased by 82% relative to baseline. Next, components of the multi-component intervention were systematically removed to evaluate their individual contribution. Results suggested that each individual component contributed to the overall treatment effects.

“…Perhaps the failure to recover baseline levels can be attributed to carryover effects from the previous satiation meal. Carryover effects from preceding to following meals have been identified by Rast et al (1984;1985a,b), and Johnston, Greene, Rawal, Vazin, & Winston (1991). In addition, although implementing the satiation diet resulted in immediate large decreases in rumination, suppression of rumination was not complete until the satiation diet had been in effect for 4 months.…”
