Influence of "Mood-Inducing" Music on Challenging Behavior.
Durand, V. Mark; Mapstone, Eileen
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v102 n4 p367-78 Jan 1998
Two studies examined the effects of musical manipulation on the challenging behaviors of two children and one adult with severe/profound mental retardation. First, high-rate challenging behaviors were identified and then fast- or slow-beat music was added. Challenging behavior was more frequent when slow-beat music was played. Affect also varied in these conditions. (DB)
