The Competition of Autistic Stereotyped Behavior with Usual and Specially Assessed Reinforcers.
Dyer, Kathleen
Research in Developmental Disabilities, v8 n4 p607-26 1987
The study evaluated a reinforcement theory of stereotyped behavior with six autistic students (ages 9-16). Three students evidenced decreases in stereotypy and increases in responding in the presence of usual reinforcers, while the other three students required external suppression of stereotypy before increases in responding were shown.
