Research in Developmental Disabilities, v15 n1 p81-90 Jan-Feb 1994

The rate of self-injurious head hitting in an eight-year old with severe/profound mental retardation was reduced using contingent electric shock delivered via the Self Injurious Behavior Inhibiting System. An improved affective state and increased interaction with the environment were documented. Treatment gains were maintained at one-year follow-up assessment. (Author/DB)
