A Comparison of Procedures for Decreasing Public Disrobing of an Institutionalized Profoundly Mentally Retarded Woman.

Durana, Ines Lombana; Cuvo, Anthony J.

Mental Retardation, v18 n4 p185-88 Aug 1980

A differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) procedure employed alone, and then in combination with restitution and positive practice, did not produce clinically significant changes in the rate of disrobing. Subsequently, the use of DRO plus restitution and negative practice reduced frequency of disrobing to either zero or one episode per day. (Author/SBH)
