Noncontingent Reinforcement as Treatment for Severe Problem Behavior: Some Procedural Variations.
Lalli, Joseph S.; And Others
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v30 n1 p127-37 Spr 1997
A study of three children (ages 3-9) with severe problem behavior investigated alternatives to the typical application of noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) for problem behavior. Instead of using continuous access to reinforcers and extinction, the study found that an NCR schedule based on latency and NCR without extinction were more effective for reducing rates of the problem behavior.
