Enuresis control through fading, escape, and avoidance training.

Abstract

A twin-signal device that provides both escape and avoidance conditioning in ensuresis control is described involving a procedure documented by two case studies. In addition, a technique of fading as an adjunct to the process is utilized with one subject. The results indicate that a combination of operant and respondent conditioning involving escape and avoidance training may be an improvement over the more traditional conditioning procedure.

Behavioral analysis and treatment of reflexive vomiting associated with visceral sensations: a case study of interoceptive conditioning?

Behavior analytic methods are applied to the conceptualization and treatment of a complex case of interoceptive classical conditioning. The subject exhibited a gagging and vomiting response to bladder and/or similar visceral sensations. A two-factor learning model of the problem led to a successful exposure and response prevention intervention, which was based on single-case experimental methodology. We discuss the possible relevance of this case in the context of the growing attention to interoceptive conditioning in behavioral problems, and comment upon the importance of behavior analytic principles and procedures to the behavioral clinician.
