Peer reviewedKern, Lee; Carberry, Nollaig; Haidara, Charrisa – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1997
A study of a 15-year-old girl with autism who engaged in self-injury and aggression, found that gradually increasing the delay to reinforcement (access or escape), mand training, and extinction were effective for decreasing self-injury. Only when the gradual delay procedure was eliminated, however, was there a reduction in aggression. (Author/CR)
