Experimental analysis and treatment of multiply controlled problem
behavior: A systematic replication and extension.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis,
39, 375-379.
We evaluated interventions designed to reduce multiply controlled
problem behavior exhibited by a young boy with developmental
disabilities, using a multiple baseline design. Each intervention
was designed to address a specific social function of problem
behavior. Results showed that the separate interventions were
useful in reducing problem behavior, and terminal schedules were
reached by way of schedule thinning (attention condition) and
delays to reinforcement (tangible and escape conditions).
