Blindisms: Treatment by Punishment and Reward in Laboratory and Natural Settings.

Blasch, Bruce B.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v72 n6 p215-30 Jun 1978, Jun78

Separate experiments were done with six blind students (ages 16-20 years) to test the effectiveness of using punishment (prerecorded sound of chalk screeching on a blackboard) and positive reinforcement (money) in natural and laboratory settings to reduce "blindisms" (stereotypic behaviors).
