Abstract

The effectiveness of binary feedback, self-monitoring, and videotape feedback in suppressing buccolingual movements characteristics of tardive dyskinesia was evaluated. Two psychiatric patients undergoing long-term antipsychotic drug therapy participated in the research. Each experimental phase included trials alone (i.e., only the patient) and discussion (i.e., the patient and another individual). The order of presentation of the three experimental variables differed across clients in each of two single-subject withdrawal designs. Results showed that binary feedback and self-monitoring were associated with marked decreases in buccolingual movements for both clients, and videotape feedback for only one client. Lower rates of buccolingual movements occurred during trials alone relative to discussion trial. Although these results are preliminary in nature, they provide a basis for the development of a behavior therapeutic approach to the treatment of a neurological disorder.
