The Effects of a Negative Practice Procedure on the Self-Stimulatory Behavior of Developmentally Disabled Students.

Secan, Kristin E.; Egel, Andrew L.

Education and Treatment of Children, v9 n1 p30-39 Feb 1986

The study assessed the effects of a negative practice contingency plus DRO on the self-stimulatory hand-clapping of three developmentally disabled students, aged 6-9. The procedure was effective in suppressing the behavior, and follow-up observations showed that the occurrence of hand-clapping continued to be low. (Author/JDD)
