- Abstract
A common intervention for rumination is satiation: allowing individuals to eat additional and unlimited portions at meals. The effectiveness of this intervention is often overshadowed by concerns of overeating and related long-term health issues. The current study evaluated a variation of food-satiation procedures by providing supplemental feedings of white bread to a 44-year-old man who had severe mental retardation, sensory impairment, and chronic rumination. Post-meal supplemental feedings were associated with decreases in rumination to near-zero levels. While the reasons for the effectiveness of this procedure are uncertain, it may be an alternative to traditional satiation procedures, particularly for individuals who have weight concerns or restrictive diets. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
