Rocking Behavior

The purpose of this study was to introduce a cognitive, nonintrusive method of controlling head-rocking behavior in an 11-year-old blind subject in an integrated placement. The intervention involved having the subject place his hand on his cheek or chin when prompted that he was rocking his head. A multiple-baseline design across four settings, both instructional and social, was employed to evaluate the effects of the procedure. The subject demonstrated significant decreases in head rocking during intervention, as well as generalization during follow-up, when no intervention was employed.

The Subject

A multiple baseline design across subjects was used to assess the effect of vestibular stimulation on the acquisition of erect and symmetrical sitting of preschoolers with severe and multiple handicaps. The subjects were three children aged 3-5 with various handicapping conditions. Measurements of erect and symmetrical sitting were taken in separate 3-minute time samples following vestibular stimulation. All three subjects made gains in erect sitting. Results from the symmetrical sitting measure were less conclusive. The two subjects with athetosis appeared to maintain these gains across a 4-month follow-up period while the subject with hypertonicity did not.

The Subject

A profoundly mentally handicapped woman was reported to be a major management problem for staff in the residential home where she lived, especially at mealtimes. Following a constructional approach the subject's appropriate behaviour was targeted. A multiple baseline design with reversal was used to investigate the effects of a contingent contact procedure on the subject's level of engagement. Results showed the procedure to be effective in increasing the amount of time the subject spent engaged in appropriate mealtime behaviour. Continuing problem behaviour at other times of day is discussed within the context of the overall living environment.

Injury Patient

A multiple baseline design was used to investigate the efficacy of a verbal feedback procedure in increasing the performance of pressure relief exercises in a spinal injury patient. Results showed that the procedure resulted in substantial increases in rates of lifting, with concommittent improvements in pressure sores. At 2½ months follow-up the patient's skin was still clear, but it is unlikely that this can be attributed to continued good performance of pressure-relief exercises.

Baseline Design

A multiple baseline design was used to assess the intervention of individual tutoring to help two learning-disabled students (15 and 16 years old) improve their multiplication of 1 -digit numbers over nine days of 10-min. instruction. Observation or visual analysis indicated 40 to 50% improvement after the intervention, and a nonparametric test of randomization showed that the students' improvement was retained during the 2-wk. follow-up.

Academic Responding

The effects of a token program implemented in the home by a teacher were examined. The effects of a home token program were evaluated using a multiple baseline design across reading, spelling and handwriting lessons while disruptive behaviour was recorded. The results indicated that inappropriate behaviours decreased when the token program was implemented. Follow-up data indicated some increase in inappropriate behaviours. Spelling performance was higher in the student's classroom during the token program in the home than during baseline. This indicated some generalisation from the home token program to academic responding in the classroom.

Letter Sound

The effects of training in letter-sound correspondences and phonemic decoding (segmenting and blending skills) on three kindergartners' word recognition abilities were examined using a single-subject multiple-baseline design across behaviors and subjects. Whereas CVC pseudowords were trained, generalization to untrained CVC pseudowords, untrained CVC real words, untrained CV and VC pseudowords, and untrained CV and VC real words were assessed. Generalization occurred to all of the untrained constructions for two of the three subjects. The third subject did not show the same degree of generalization to VC pseudowords and real words; however, after three training sessions, this subject read all VC constructions with 100% accuracy. Findings are consistent with group training studies that have shown the benefits of decoding training on word recognition and spelling skills and with studies that have demonstrated the effects of generalization to less complex structures when more complex structures are trained.
