The current study taught 6 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to increase passive compliance of wearing a facemask across sequentially increasing durations of time. A changing‐criterion design embedded within a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of a resetting differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) without escape extinction procedure on passive compliance. Terminal probe sessions determined DRO fading intervals. Results showed that 2 participants acquired mastery level passive compliance (30 min) without fading during the initial baseline sessions. The remaining 4 participants acquired mastery level passive compliance following fading intervals within the DRO intervention. Participants' passive compliance generalized across 2 novel settings. This study replicates previous studies and extends empirical support for the use of DRO without escape extinction interventions for increasing passive compliance with medical devices in children with ASD.

自闭症谱系障碍儿童对戴口罩的被动依从性增加

当前的研究教给6名自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童在持续增加的持续时间中增加戴口罩的被动依从性。嵌入在非并行多基线设计中的变更标准设计用于评估重置其他行为的差分强化（DRO）的有效性，而无需针对被动依从性进行逃避灭绝程序。终端探测会话确定DRO衰落间隔。结果显示，有2位参与者在最初的基准会话期间获得了掌握水平的被动顺从性（30分钟）而没有褪色。其余4位参与者在DRO干预内的衰落间隔后获得了掌握水平的被动顺从性。参与者的被动遵从性在两种新颖的环境中普遍存在。
