Using Self-management to Reduce Automatically Maintained Problem Behavior in Children with Autism
Children with autism often engage in repetitive, stereotypic behaviors. Many of these behaviors prove difficult to eliminate due to the non-socially mediated nature of reinforcement available to them. Self-management techniques, including self-monitoring and self-reinforcement, have proven …

Suppressive effects of a stimulus correlated with reprimands for automatically-maintained eye poking.
A functional analysis, conducted to assess the variables maintaining the chronic eye poking of a female diagnosed with profound mental retardation, indicated that the behavior persisted in the absence of social contingencies. A procedure was initiated in a training environment in which a punisher …

Immediate and subsequent effects of fixed-time food presentations on automatically maintained mouthing.
… analysis showed that mouthing was a nonsocially maintained problem behavior. Phase 3 demonstrated the use of FT schedules of food deliveries as treatment for nonsocially maintained mouthing. Results indicated that FT schedules of food significantly reduced mouthing. In addition, levels of …

The Effects of Pre-session Access to Competing Stimuli on Motor Stereotypy
… with social inclusion. Stereotypy is often maintained by automatic reinforcement (occurring in the absence of social consequences) due to the ‘self-stimulatory’ or sensory consequences produced by the behavior itself. The purpose of this study was to examine the subsequent effects of …
