Renewal, the increase in behavior during extinction following context changes, may be particularly concerning during intervention for feeding disorders because context changes are often necessary for intervention generality and maintenance (Podlesnik et al., 2017). In the current study, we tested for renewal and evaluated a renewal-mitigation procedure when we transferred intervention from a therapist to a caregiver, from clinic to the home, and changed the foods the feeder presented. We used an ABA arrangement to evaluate the generality of the renewal effect with 7 participants who engaged in inappropriate mealtime behavior. Context A was functional reinforcement. Context B was function-based extinction during the control and mitigation conditions and our renewal-mitigation procedure in the mitigation condition. The renewal test was function-based extinction in Context A. We observed renewal of inappropriate mealtime behavior in 4 of 7 participants, and our renewal-mitigation procedure was effective for 4 of 4 participants.

对不适当进餐行为的更新缓解程序的评估

更新，即环境变化后灭绝期间行为的增加，在喂养障碍干预期间可能特别令人担忧，因为环境变化通常是干预普遍性和维持所必需的（Podlesnik 等，2017）。在当前的研究中，当我们将干预从治疗师转移到护理人员、从诊所转移到家庭并改变喂食器提供的食物时，我们测试了更新并评估了更新缓解程序。我们使用 ABA 安排来评估 7 名从事不当进餐行为的参与者的更新效果的普遍性。上下文 A 是功能强化。背景 B 是在控制和缓解条件下基于功能的灭绝，以及我们在缓解条件下的更新缓解程序。
