Further Analysis of the Relationship between Self-Injury and Self-Restraint.

Fisher, Wayne W.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v29 n1 p103-06 Spr 1996

This study examined the effects of blocking self-injurious behavior on the self-restraint of a 19-year-old male with severe mental retardation. Consistent with the negative reinforcement hypothesis, blocking SIB resulted in near-zero levels of SIB and moderate reductions in self-restraint. (Author/DB)
