Groff 2011¶

Groff, R. A., Piazza, C. C., Zeleny, J. R., & Dempsey, J. R. (2011). Spoon-to-cup fading as treatment for cup drinking in a child with intestinal failure. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 44, 949–954. https://doi.org/10.1901/jaba.2011.44-949

q2 · i1 · causal · r1

Extinction phase of the same single-participant study, alternating spoon and cup sessions. With the spoon, "acceptance increased ( M 5 60%), mouth clean was variable ( M 5 57%)"; with the cup, acceptance was high (M 5 88%) but mouth clean was low (M 5 7%), motivating the fading procedure.

"During extinction, acceptance increased ( M 5 60%), mouth clean was variable ( M 5 57%), and inappropriate behavior was low ( M 5 2.3 responses per minute) with the spoon."
