The present study used a within-subject design to compare the response-eliminating effectiveness of omission training (OT) and extinction training (ET) in institutionalized Down’s Syndrome individuals. An interval-by-interval inspection of the data for all subjects indicated that OT and ET did not differ consistently or noticeably in their effects on responding. Similarly, using an overall suppression measure, there was no significant difference between the effects of OT and ET when all of the individuals were considered. However, when overall suppression scores were analyzed in those subjects that reached a response-elimination criterion and in those subjects that showed overall suppression in both the OT and ET conditions, it was found that significantly more overall suppression was associated with OT than with ET. Possible explanations of these results were discussed. |
