Erratum to: Further Manipulations in Response Effort or Magnitude of an Aversive Consequence to Increase Self-Feeding in Children with Feeding Disorders

Abstract

Reports an error in 'Further manipulations in response effort or magnitude of an aversive consequence to increase self-feeding in children with feeding disorders' by Valerie M. Volkert, Cathleen C. Piazza and Rachel Ray-Price (Behavior Analysis in Practice, Advanced Online Publication, Apr 11, 2016, np). Due to an error in production, this article was updated to correct Table 1, which was missing data added during the e-proofing process. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2016-23030-001[/rid]). Although some children with feeding disorders may have the necessary skills to feed themselves, they may lack motivation to self-feed solids and liquids. Rivas, Piazza, Roane, Volkert, Stewart, Kadey, and Groff (Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 47, 1–14, 2014) and Vaz, Volkert, and Piazza (Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 44, 915–920, 2011) successfully increased self-feeding for children who lacked motivation to self-feed by manipulating either the quantity or the quantity and quality of bites that the therapist fed the child if he or she did not self-feed. In the current investigation, we present three case examples to illustrate some challenges we faced when using these procedures outlined in the aforementioned studies and how we addressed these challenges.
