Assessment of Self-Injurious Behavior Maintained by Access to Self-Restraint Materials.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vollmer, 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…

Play versus Alone Conditions as Controls during Functional Analyses of Self-Injurious Escape Behavior.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kahng, 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)

Effects of Warning Stimuli for Reinforcer Withdrawal and Task Onset on Self-Injury.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mace, 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)
