Meunier, Suzanne A.; Tolin, David F.; Franklin, Martin – Behavior Modification, 2009

A major goal of positive behavior support (PBS) is to produce broad-based, long-term improvements in adaptive behavior; however, the empirical base, at present, is mainly composed of relatively short-term studies carried out in circumscribed contexts. Therefore, a need exists for reliable data that can inform the field regarding the comprehensive…

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)
