  • Title: Recreating the scene: an effective way to provide delayed punishment for inappropriate motor behavior.
    Author: Van Houten R, Rolider A.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 1988; 21(2):187-92. PubMed ID: 2458333.
    Abstract:
    A mediated punishment procedure that involved recreating a behavioral sequence by guiding the subject through the behavior in the situation in which it occurred was used to suppress several severe problem behaviors in two developmentally delayed children. The mediational procedure was first used with a 4-year-old autistic boy for biting and then for foot stomping. Next the procedure was used for stealing and hoarding behavior with a multiply handicapped 17-year-old girl. Results indicated that the procedure was effective and produced relatively rapid results. One advantage of the procedure is that it provides an opportunity for trained personnel to apply restrictive procedures to low frequency behavior that occurs in their absence rather than relying on less qualified staff to implement the procedure immediately after the behavior occurs.
