Using Descriptive and Experimental Analyses in the Treatment of Self-Injurious Behavior.
Belfiore, Phillip J.; And Others
Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v28 n1 p57-65 Mar 1993
The function of self-injurious behavior (SIB) by an adult with severe mental retardation was analyzed via descriptive and experimental analysis methodologies. Results indicated that SIB occurred more often when the participant was presented with nonpreferred novel activities. Intervention resulted in the use of negation to terminate the nonpreferred activity and redirect adaptive responding. (Author/JDD)
