Differential responding in the presence and absence of discriminative stimuli during multielement functional analyses.

abstract：:We evaluated a commonly used component of brief time-out, in which release from time-out is delayed contingent on the occurrence of disruption. Data were collected for one normal and two mentally retarded children on time-out-producing behaviors (aggression and disruption) as well as delay-producing behaviors during t...
