A few studies on response blocking as well as response interruption and redirection (RIRD) as a treatment for automatically maintained problem behavior have examined different levels of treatment integrity. Results from these studies have shown continued suppression of responding under low levels of integrity for some participants after they were exposed to blocking at full integrity. The current study compared the treatment effects of RIRD at two levels of integrity (100 and 33%). The 33% condition was not preceded by exposure to full integrity. Four children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder between the ages of 8 and 16 participated. The effects of treatment integrity on vocal stereotypy were assessed using an ABAB‐variant design in which B consisted of an alternating‐treatments comparison of different levels of integrity. Results varied across participants, and although both conditions decreased stereotypy, 100% integrity produced lower levels of stereotypy quicker than 33%. The current study expands upon current literature by suggesting that lower levels of integrity (33%) may still suppress vocal stereotypy.

对响应中断和重定向的治疗完整性的进一步评估

关于响应阻止以及响应中断和重定向（RIRD）作为自动维护的问题行为的处理方法的一些研究已经检查了不同级别的处理方法完整性。这些研究的结果表明，对于某些处于完全正直阻断状态的参与者，在低正直度下的反应持续受到抑制。目前的研究比较了RIRD在两个完整性水平上的治疗效果（100％和33％）。在33％的情况下，未暴露于完全完整性之前。四个被诊断患有8至16岁的自闭症谱系障碍的儿童参加了比赛。使用ABAB变异设计评估了治疗完整性对人声刻板印象的影响，其中B包括不同完整性水平的交替治疗比较。参与者之间的结果各不相同，尽管两种情况都减少了陈规定型观念，但100％的完整性产生的定型观念水平要比33％更快。当前的研究通过暗示较低的完整性（33％）可能仍会抑制声音的刻板印象而扩展了当前的文献。
