The Effect of Object Preferences on Task Performance and Stereotypy in a Child with Autism.

Morrison, Kenda; Rosales-Ruiz, Jesus

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v18 n2 p127-37 Mar-Apr 1997

The relationship between preferred objects associated with stereotypy, stereotypic behavior, and accuracy of responding during a counting task by a child with autism was analyzed. Teaching with high-preference objects occasioned more stereotypic behavior and less accurate counting than teaching with medium- and low-preference objects. (Author/DB)
