When problem behavior is controlled by a synthesized reinforcement contingency, a simple omnibus mand that yields access to all reinforcers simultaneously has been shown to effectively replace problem behavior. The question arises as to whether teaching an omnibus mand will preclude the acquisition of specifying mands for each of the combined reinforcers. In this study, after 3 students diagnosed with autism acquired an omnibus mand (“My way, please”) that yielded all identified reinforcers simultaneously, specifying mands (e.g., “All done,” “May I have my toys?” “Play with me”) were taught to yield each individual reinforcer (e.g., escape, tangibles, attention). Problem behavior was immediately eliminated for all children, and the omnibus mand was acquired quickly. Teaching an omnibus mand did not preclude acquisition of specifying mands for any learner and instead allowed for the acquisition of specifying mands once problem behavior had been effectively reduced.

教授综合命令是否排除了指定命令的发展？

当问题行为由综合强化偶然性控制时，一个简单的综合命令可以同时访问所有强化物，已被证明可以有效地替代问题行为。出现的问题是，教授综合指令是否会排除对每个组合强化物的特定指令的获得。在这项研究中，在 3 名被诊断患有自闭症的学生获得了一个综合指令（“我的方式，请”）后，该指令同时产生所有已识别的强化物，指定指令（例如，“全部完成”，“我可以拥有我的玩具吗？”“玩me”）被教导产生每个单独的强化物（例如，逃避、有形、注意力）。所有孩子的问题行为立即被消除，并迅速获得了综合指令。
