Listen below to the new episode of JABA in one take. This is the series where we break down a paper from JABA so that you, the research-focused practitioner can keep up with current research literature.
This article is like an onion… It makes me feel things on so many different layers. I mean that literally, as on the surface this is just another feeding article that debates whether attention is a relevent function for children with feeding disorders. But, by the addition of the caregiver survey, they find something really interesting… And that is that the caregivers, even when shown that attention does not function as a reinforcer for their children, STILL want to use attention extinction in their home setting… There is a lot to unpack there, and we dive into it all on this episode of JABA in one take!
