McComas, Jennifer J.; Goddard, Carol; Hoch, Hannah
Education and Treatment of Children, v25 n1 p103-12 Feb 2002
Destructive behavior of 9-year-old with learning disabilities was evaluated in a functional analysis. The effects of extinction, negative reinforcement, and negative reinforcement combined with access to preferred activities were compared on behavior and task engagement. Engagement occurred most and destructive behavior occurred least when positive and negative reinforcement was provided contingent on task completion. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
