Self-Stimulation and Occupational Responding in Low-Functioning Persons.

Lancioni, G. E.; And Others

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v14 n3 p235-38 Sep 1991

This study examined the relationship between the level of self-stimulation and the rate of correct task-related responses in 2 multiply disabled (severely retarded, deaf and visually impaired) individuals (ages 16 and 12). Findings suggested that self-stimulation does not always need to be suppressed to promote adaptive responding. (DB)
