Study Notes
Feeding as a Behavior
- Feeding is a unique behavior because food functions as an appetitive stimulus.
- Organisms require consistent caloric intake.
- Many organisms have adapted to unique environments.
- Changes in food availability can lead to changes in feeding strategies.
Behavioral Strategies for Feeding Disorders
- Behavioral analysts can manipulate mealtime antecedents and consequences to determine their effects on a child's refusal behavior.
- A functional analysis can be used to assess the effects of caregiver consequences such as attention and escape on inappropriate mealtime behavior.
- Escape from food can be a negative reinforcer for inappropriate mealtime behavior
- Attention seeking or tangible items can be positive reinforcers for inappropriate mealtime behavior
- Change in caregiver responses to child's inappropriate mealtime behavior can be effective treatment.
Treatment for Feeding Disorders
- The use of extinction and reinforcement is often effective for treating food refusal.
- A multicomponent treatment combining stimulus fading, reinforcement, and extinction can be effective in treating food refusal.
- Acquisition of cup drinking skills can be achieved using previously refused foods as both positive and negative reinforcement.
- Caregiver training is crucial for the implementation of pediatric feeding protocols.
- Fading procedures can be used to increase fluid consumption in children with feeding problems
- A systematic evaluation of food textures can help decrease food packing behavior and increase intake in children with feeding problems.
