Parental use of escape extinction and differential reinforcement to treat food selectivity.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis,
34, 511-515.
Escape extinction combined with differential reinforcement for
acceptance has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for
food selectivity when implemented by trained professionals in
clinic settings. This study evaluated the efficacy of
parent-implemented escape extinction in the child's natural
environment using video monitoring to train parents and assess
intervention efficacy. Parents were able to use intervention to
significantly increase bites accepted and decrease problem
behavior.
