| Popis: | Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by recurrent and ritualized acts that often have no social behavioral function. These behaviors commonly co-occur with anxiety. We used a mild punisher to suppress compulsive behaviors in a 16-year-old male diagnosed with OCD. We paired a “hands down” instruction with red paper and systematically reduced paper size and added a red wristband while continuing to reduce paper size. Conditioned suppression by the wristband was then generalized to a novel setting and staff. |
