Translational Research to Inform Interventions for Challenging Behavior

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This project is meant to identify relations between the reinforcement histories of 80 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and the prevalence of extinction bursts. Extinction bursts, or temporary increases in rates and intensities of behavior during extinction, often preclude the inclusion of extinction in intervention packages meant to suppress severe challenging behavior, despite the fact that extinction is often necessary to generate therapeutic outcomes. Study results will provide insight into how researchers can enhance interventions for the severe challenging behavior of individuals with IDD while mitigating the undesirable collateral effects (i.e., extinction bursts) of therapeutic action (i.e., extinction). Expanded access to study results will be made available to those who inquire after all data have been obtained and analyzed.

Clinical Trial Description

The Goal of this project is to identify mechanisms responsible for bursts, and to facilitate strategic extensions toward discovery for treatments of challenging behavior. AIM 1: In the service of this goal, the investigators aim to evaluate the accuracy of an efficient alternative to demand-curve analysis (i.e., progressive ratio reinforcer analysis) in quantifying reinforcer value (i.e., Pmax). AIM 2: Investigators also aim to evaluate the utility of manipulating baseline reinforcement parameters for controlling bursts when those manipulations are informed by the results of demand-curve analysis. ;
