차별강화와 반응대가 기법이 ADHD아동의 비 학습적 행동에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of differential reinforcement and response cost procedures on the unlearned behavior (leaving a place, distraction, interrupting others) of ADHD children. The subject of this study was male kindergartener with 4 years old who attend the kindergartens attached to elementary schools, and he was diagnosed with ADHD by the diagnosis standard of DSM-Ⅳ, and was measured with IQ (intelligence quotient) 107. The experimental design of this study was proceeded with pre-test, treatment, and post test, using ABA design. It calculated and compared the frequency of target behavior, by video shooting in each step. The obtained conclusions, focusing on the results gained in this study, are as follows. First, the intervention, which used differential reinforcement and response cost techniques, had positive influence upon reduction in behavior of distraction of children with ADHD. Compared to the period of basic line, it was shown about fivefold reduction during the period of intervention. Second, the intervention, which used differential reinforcement and response cost techniques, had positive influence on reduction in behavior of interrupting others of children with ADHD(Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Compared to the period of basic line, it was shown the reduction of about quadruple during the period of intervention. Third, the intervention, which used differential reinforcement and response cost techniques, had positive influence upon reduction in behavior of leaving a place of children with ADHD. Compared to the period of basic line, it was shown the reduction of about quadruple during the period of intervention. Given seeing the above results, it can be concluded that the intervention, which used differential reinforcement and response cost techniques, had significant positive influence upon the unlearned behavior of children with ADHD.
