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 · i2 · causal · r1

Single-participant ABB 9AB and multielement study of a 4-year-old with short gut syndrome in a day-treatment program. In the fading phase, the fifth step produced "acceptance and mouth clean were high ( Ms 5 100% and 80%, respectively) during the cup probe," so fading was discontinued and cup probes continued.

"After the fifth fading step (spoon protruding 0.6 cm from the lip of the cup), acceptance and mouth clean were high ( Ms 5 100% and 80%, respectively) during the cup probe."
