TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Momentum versus extinction effects in the treatment of self-injurious escape behavior JO - Journal of applied behavior analysis A1 - Zarcone, J. R. A1 - Iwata, B. A. A1 - Hughes, C. E. A1 - Vollmer, T. R. SP - 135 EP - 136 VL - 26 IS - 1 N2 - An individual's self-injurious escape behavior was treated using a high-probability instructional sequence with and without extinction. When presented alone, the high-probability sequence did not reduce self-injurious behavior. When escape extinction was implemented either alone or in combination with the high-probability sequence, self-injury decreased and compliance increased, suggesting that extinction may be a necessary component of the treatment for behavior problems maintained by escape.
