We analyzed and treated the finger sucking of 2 developmentally typical children aged 7
and 10 years. The functional analysis revealed that the finger sucking of both children
was exhibited primarily during alone conditions, suggesting that the behavior was maintained
by automatic reinforcement. An extended analysis provided support for this hypothesis
and demonstrated that attenuation of stimulation produced by the finger sucking
resulted in behavior reductions for both children. Treatment consisted of having each
child wear a glove on the relevant hand during periods when he or she was alone. Use
of the glove produced zero levels of finger sucking for 1 participant, whereas only moderate
reductions were obtained for the other. Subsequently, an awareness enhancement
device was used that produced an immediate reduction in finger sucking.
