abstract="The frequency and intensity of a 14-year-old profoundly retarded male's self-injurious behavior was significantly reduced by the reinforcement of calm sitting behavior. Social validation ratings confirmed the effectiveness of treatment, and showed that gains generalized across treatment and non-treatment settings and across people associated or not with treatment. Treatment gains were maintained at 6- and 12-month follow-ups.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
