Journal ArticleDOI
Functional communication training with and without alternative reinforcement and punishment: an analysis of 58 applications.

Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of noncontingent delivery of high- and low-preference stimuli on attention-maintained destructive behavior
TL;DR: An adolescent with severe mental retardation and cerebral palsy who displayed attention-maintained destructive behavior was exposed to noncontingent reinforcer delivery (NCR), and NCR without extinction was effective only when the high-preference stimulus was available, suggesting that systematic assessment of stimulus quality may enhance the effectiveness of NCR with alternative stimuli.
