Self-Monitoring and Self-Administered Overcorrection

Abstract

The relative contribution of self-monitoring and competing response practice to the effectiveness of the Azrin and Nunn (1973, 1977) habit-reversal procedure was investigated in two children exhibiting nervous tics. A multiple baseline design across settings was employed for each child and the reliability of self-monitoring was determined. Results indicated that both children were capable of reliable self-monitoring and that self-monitoring alone was sufficient to reduce tics in one of the children. For the other child, who presented a longer history of tics, it was necessary to include competing response practice with the self-monitoring. For both children, change was setting specific. Issues of generalization were discussed.
