Presenters: Michael Mueller, Ph.D., BCBA-D, IBA

Summary:

We evaluated the effects of a high-probability (high-p) instructional sequence on the feeding-related compliance (food acceptance) of a young boy diagnosed with a feeding disorder. The high-p sequence consisted of three presentations of an empty spoon; the low-probability (low-p) instruction was the presentation of a spoon with food. Results showed that acceptance of food increased in the presence and not the absence of the high-p sequence. Data are discussed in terms of the role of high-p instructional sequences in the treatment of feeding problems.

Learning Objectives:

1. Attendee will be able to describe behavioral momentum (High – P/Low-P procedure)
2. Attendee will be able to describe escape extinction (EE) in pediatric feeding protocols
3. Attendee will be able to compare the results of the Patel et al, 2007 study with the previous research on behavioral momentum in previous feeding research
