Document Summary

She was a model, she had a poor posture not ideal for a role model for psychiatric patients. She wore this elastic cord under her top. Had 3 components first, when joanne slouched, the elastic cord stretched activating the sensors which caused the programmable device to produce a clicking sound and 3 seconds later a loud aversive tone. This was an instance of punishment for slouching. Second, while the aversive tone was on, if joanne exhibited good posture she would escape the sound of the tone because it would turn off. Before joanne wore the apparatus, she slouched almost 60% of the time, but when she wore it, she slouched only 1% of the time. When joanne removed the apparatus, her slouching did recover somewhat (to approximately 11%), but the clear demonstration of the effects of the apparatus gave her hope that she could cure her slouching habit.
