Adult-child interaction analysis: methodology and case application.

A revised methodology for analyzing adult-child interactions incorporating the use of videotape is presented. Results obtained from the application of this methodology to a successfully treated case of prolonged subsistence on pureed foods demonstrate that it is valid and useful. Objective confirmation of previous subjective clinical impressions and judgments was provided, and previously unnoted behavioral characteristics of mother, child and therapist were revealed. The clinical, research, and training potential of this comprehensive yet unobtrusive methodology is discussed.

Applied behavior analysis in the treatment of childhood feeding problems.

This paper discusses behavioral mismanagement as a cause of feeding problems in children and reports the case of a six-year-old handicapped boy who was subsisting almost entirely on pureed foods at the time of his referral. Treatment with applied behavior analysis resulted in his acceptance of food normal for his age, and at follow-up 12 months after treatment the variety of foods eaten and the nutrient intake were virtually normal for his age. The authors discuss the frequent occurrence of feeding problems in children and their possible causes. They propose that such problems constitute a clinical entity and suggest a preliminary classification system for them.

Positive side effects in the treatment of SIB using the Self-Injurious Behavior Inhibiting System (SIBIS): implications for operant and biochemical explanations of SIB.

The rate of self-injurious head hitting was reduced using contingent electric shock delivered via the Self-Injurious Behavior Inhibiting System (SIBIS). Positive side effects indicating an improved affective state and increased interaction with the environment were documented. Treatment gains were maintained at a 1-year follow-up assessment. The consistent reports of positive affective side effects from successful treatment studies using SIBIS and contingent electric shock are noted. Implications for current operant-based theories of SIB based on the communication function of SIB and endogenous opiate mechanisms are discussed.
