“…In the past decade, a rapidly evolving technology for the treatment of feeding disorders has resulted in effective behavioral interventions being reported for a variety of feeding problems such as food selectivity (Madsen & Thompson, 1974), food refusal (Hoch, Babbitt, Coe, Krell, & Hackbert, 1994), and adipsia (Friedin, Borakove, & Fox, 1982). The behavioral procedures used to treat such disorders have varied widely, including the use of positive reinforcement and extinction (Riordan, Iwata, Wohl, & Finney, 1980), overcorrection (Duker, 1981), graduated guidance and fading (Bernal, 1972), and stimulus fading (Friedin et al, 1982;Johnson & Babbitt, 1993).…”

Stimulus fading procedures have repeatedly been demonstrated as effective in shaping a wide variety of new behaviors. Borrowing from this body of research, the behavioral treatment of feeding disorders presents a new area of application for stimulus fading. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ef®cacy of stimulus fading in the treatment of adipsia. Two children who ate solids, but refused all liquids, were participants in the study. Results showed that a ®ve step fading procedure starting with a spoon and thickened liquids, and ending with a cut-out-cup, was successful in establishing cup drinking skills for both children. Results of the study suggest that stimulus fading can facilitate feeding skill acquisition.

“…In one example, Riordan, Iwata, Finney, Wohl, and Stanley (1984) provided preferred food contingent on consumption of nonpreferred food. At the group level, tangible and social reinforcement has also been shown to increase the consumption of novel breakfast foods (Madsen, Madsen, & Thompson, 1974), and a token system with tangible reinforcers was used at 40 elementary schools to increase fruit and vegetable consumption (Loewenstein, Price, & Volpp, 2016). These latter studies provide support for utilizing tangible reinforcers in school settings with children.…”

Healthy eating has important well-being and financial implications for our society. As such, it is critical that the field of behavior science and behavior analysis conduct more research in this area so that effective interventions may be developed. One barrier to addressing healthy eating may be conceptual. Far from being a single response, eating is comprised of a series of choice responses. These selection, preparation and consumption responses form a temporally delayed behavioral chain. When designing interventions to address healthy eating, therefore, one must not only consider the specific target response, but alternative response options, and the effect of changing one response on other choices in the chain. The purpose of this article is to refine the analysis of healthy eating behavior, provide examples of research conducted in this area, and discuss how these interventions may influence this chain of responses. It is hoped that by doing so, additional research will be conducted and disseminated so that individuals, organizations, and policy makers can implement more effective interventions for healthy eating.

“…A third study related to eating behavior (Madsen, Madsen, & Thompson, 1974) was designed to increase consumption of middle-class meals by a group of Head Start children. A breakfast of nourishing but unfamiliar foods was served to the children each morning.…”

The nursery school . . . is a school serving the needs of two-, three-, and four-year-old children in today's world by offering them experiences adapted to what is now known about growth needs of these age levels. It shares with parents the responsibility for promoting sound growth and learning in a period when growth is rapid and significant. Respect for the individual child and his needs is the basis for a good nursery school program.-Read, The Nursery School, p. 24-[There are] four functions of the teacher of young children: care-taking, providing emotional support and guidance, instructing, and facilitating. -Almy, The Early Childhood Educator at Work, p. 21-We in child development and early childhood education [have as] our goal.. .to develop optimum personal competence in all children. -Hildebrand, Guiding Young Children, p. 15-[T]he teacher must attempt to build an educational climate that enhances the children's development and whets their appetite for further learning. The milieu must also nourish and sustain emotional health, encourage physical growth and muscular prowess, foster satisfying social interactions, enhance creativity, develop language skills, and promote the development of mental ability. Moreover, this must all be garbed in an aura of happiness and affection in order to establish that basic feeling of well-being, which is essential to successful learning.
