Project Description:

Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) is an increasingly common intervention for the severe behavior disorders of individuals with developmental disabilities. However, certain basic behavioral processes, yet to be examined in a clinical context, predict that NCR may increase behavior problems when it is not being directly implemented or may weaken the effects of other interventions. This project will determine the extent to these effects occur as a first step towards determining how they can be avoided.
