Abstract
The Effects of a Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior and a Faded Response Blocking Intervention on Decreasing Thumb Sucking Behavior in a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Case Study
Highlights
Thumb-sucking is an adaptive and normative behavior that may emerge in early childhood
One way to determine the function of a behavior is through a functional behavior assessment (FBA)
For the second phase, mastery of the step took 16 sessions, with the mean frequency of 4.31
Summary
Thumb-sucking is an adaptive and normative behavior that may emerge in early childhood. This procedure decreases a particular target behavior because it is never followed by reinforcement; it weakens the future rate Another technique that reduces behaviors is called response blocking. Since motor behaviors are maintained by automatic reinforcement, response blocking is an effective intervention (Cooper et al, 2019).
