Kennedy, Craig H.; Haring, Thomas G.

Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), v18 n2 p85-92 Sum 1993

This study compared types of differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO), namely, reward DRO (reward for omission of problem behavior), escape DRO (termination of instruction contingent on omission of problem behavior), and combined DRO. The combined DRO approach was most effective in reducing behavior problems of three adolescents with severe disabilities. (DB)
