Peer reviewedVollmer, Timothy R.; Vorndran, Christina M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1998
A functional analysis was conducted which showed that self-injurious behavior (SIB) of an adult with mental retardation occurred at differentially high rates when restraint materials access was contingent on behavior. An alone condition during the functional analysis showed SIB did not occur in the absence of restraint materials. Functional…

Peer reviewedKahng, SungWoo; Iwata, Brian A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1998
A study compared effects of continuous reinforcement (play) and alone conditions as controls during functional analyses for 66 individuals whose self-injurious behavior (SIB) was maintained by escape. SIB was lower during both control conditions than it was during the test (demand) condition. SIB was lowest during the alone condition. (Author/CR)

Peer reviewedKennedy, Craig H.; Meyer, Kim A.; Knowles, Tanya; Shukla, Smita – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2000
Two studies involving five students (ages 9-17) with autism found that stereotypy was multiply determined or occurred across all assessment conditions (attention, demand, no-attention, and recreation conditions) and that the presumed association between response topography and behavioral function may be less important than previously realized.…

Peer reviewedMace, Amy Boyajian; Shapiro, Edward S.; Mace, F. Charles – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1998
Results of a functional analysis of self-injurious behavior (SIB) in a 7-year-old child with autism showed that her SIB was maintained by access to preferred object and escape or avoidance of task demands. Warning stimuli in combination with extinction and noncontingent reinforcement reduced SIB to acceptable levels. (Author/CR)

Peer reviewedMagee, Sandy K.; Ellis, Janet – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2000
Extinction effects were evaluated in a multiple baseline across behaviors design with 2 boys (ages 7 and 8) with disabilities after just one of several target problem behaviors was observed during a functional analysis. Other target behaviors emerged as extinction was introduced sequentially across all problem behaviors. (Contains three…

Peer reviewedRepp, Alan C.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1988
Method of treatment of self-injurious behaviors for three severely retarded students (ages six-seven) was selected by matching one of three hypotheses (self-stimulation, positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement) to a judgment concerning cause. Results supported the argument that treatment programs should be based on a functional analysis of…
