TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Some effects of noncontingent positive reinforcement on multiply controlled problem behavior and compliance in a demand context JO - Journal of applied behavior analysis A1 - Ingvarsson, Einar T. A1 - Kahng, Sungwoo A1 - Hausman, Nicole L. SP - 435 EP - 440 VL - 41 IS - 3 N2 - Functional analysis suggested that the problem behavior of an 8-year-old girl with autism was maintained by escape from demands and access to edible items. Noncontingent delivery of an edible item was sufficient to increase compliance and reduce the rate of problem behavior without the use of escape extinction in a demand context. Leaner and richer schedules of noncontingent reinforcement were equally effective, and there were minimal differences between noncontingent reinforcement and differential reinforcement of compliance.
