AN EVALUATION OF THE TYPES OF ATTENTION THAT MAINTAIN PROBLEM BEHAVIOR

AN EVALUATION OF THE TYPES OF ATTENTION THAT MAINTAIN PROBLEM BEHAVIOR Although previous research indicates that certain types of attention (i.e., statements related to behavior, tickles) may be differentially reinforcing, only one or two forms of attention are typically provided contingent on problem behavior during the attention condition in experimental functional analyses. In the present investigation, various forms of attention were provided contingent on problem behavior to identify the influence of each form of attention. Results indicated that the attention forms affected problem behavior differently; Final acceptance these outcomes are discussed in terms of their implications for assessment and treatment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis Wiley

Abstract

Although previous research indicates that certain types of attention (i.e., statements related to behavior, tickles) may be differentially reinforcing, only one or two forms of attention are typically provided contingent on problem behavior during the attention condition in experimental functional analyses. In the present investigation, various forms of attention were provided contingent on problem behavior to identify the influence of each form of attention. Results indicated that the attention forms affected problem behavior differently; Final acceptance these outcomes are discussed in terms of their implications for assessment and treatment.
