Peer reviewedSingh, Nirbhay N.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1982

Peer reviewedFriman, Patrick C.; Hove, Gayleen – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
The study examined effects of aversive taste treatment of thumb sucking on untreated habitual hair pulling by two young males (ages 2 and 5). Concomitant with successful treatment of thumb sucking, hair pulling was also eliminated. Results suggest an efficient method for changing behaviors that are difficult to treat directly. (Author/JW)

The study evaluated the effects of a fine mist of water applied to the face contingent upon self-injurious behavior (SIB) exhibited by profoundly retarded persons. Results indicated that the water mist procedure may be an effective alternative to traditional punishment techniques. (Author)

Particular emphasis is on self-instruction, self-determined criteria, self-assessment, and self-reinforcement. Self-punishment, comprehensive programs, and innovative self-control procedures (including distraction and restatement of contingencies) are also evaluated. (Author/DLS)

To deal with the problem of stealing among 34 severely and profoundly retarded institutionalized adults, an overcorrection procedure was designed in which the thief was required to give his victim an item identical to the stolen one in addition to returning the stolen item. (Author)

Peer reviewedThompson, George A., Jr. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1979
The behavior modification procedure, carried out at mealtime with a ten-year-old retarded boy who had spastic cerebral palsy, consisted of differential reinforcement and punishment, and resulted in substantial decreases in tongue thrust (reverse swallowing) and food expulsion, and a large increase in observed chewing. (Author/DLS)

Peer reviewedFisher, Wayne; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1993
In this study, functional communication training alone and combined with extinction and/or punishment was evaluated for four clients with severe retardation, behavior problems, and communication deficits. Results showed that the combination of training plus punishment produced the largest and most consistent reductions in target behavior problems.…
