Peer reviewedGoh, Han-Leong; Iwata, Brian A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994

Results of a reversal design showed substantial bursts of responding when extinction was introduced and reintroduced: self-injury remained at a variable and elevated rate for some time before stable, low rates were observed.
