Peer reviewedBarton, Lyle E.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1986
The study examined the extent to which momentary DRO (differential reinforcement of other behavior) maintained suppression (following initial treatment with whole-interval DRO) of the maladaptive behavior of nine severely multihandicapped elementary aged students. Results indicated that momentary DRO maintained response suppression comparable to…

Peer reviewedHorner, Robert H.; Day, H. Michael – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1991
Three individuals with multiple severe disabilities were taught an appropriate response to problem behaviors, but the response was less efficient than the problem behavior on physical effort, schedule of reinforcement, or stimulus-reinforcer time delay. The response did not compete successfully with the problem behaviors until a new, more…
