Comparison of single and multiple functional communication training responses for the treatment of problem behavior.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis,
33, 321-324.
Two functional communication training (FCT) conditions without
extinction were compared to treat the problem behavior of a child
with developmental disabilities. The individual was taught to
emit a single FCT response to obtain one of six items delivered
in a randomized order or multiple FCT responses that specified
the exact item. Results showed that only the FCT-multiple
condition reduced problem behavior and maintained alternative
mands.
