Proximal and distal effects of play on child compliance with a brain-injured parent.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis,
34, 221-224.
Individuals with brain injury may experience severe cognitive and
other impairments. For brain-injured parents, such deficits may
be associated with child behavior problems, including
noncompliance. We assessed the effects of a play period conducted
by a brain-injured father on the compliance of his son, who had
become uncooperative with his father after the injury. The child
consistently demonstrated improved compliance during proximal and
distal compliance sessions that followed father–son play
periods.
