TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Decreasing signs of negative affect and correlated self-injury in an individual with mental retardation and mood disturbances JO - Journal of applied behavior analysis A1 - Lindauer, S. E. A1 - DeLeon, Iser G. A1 - Fisher, W. W. SP - 103 EP - 106 VL - 32 IS - 1 N2 - We evaluated the effects of an enriched environment, based on a paired-choice preference assessment, on both rates of self-injurious behavior (SIB) and percentage of session intervals during which signs of negative affect were displayed by a woman with mental retardation and a mood disorder. Results suggested that SIB and signs of negative affect were highly correlated and that the enriched environment effectively reduced both.
