TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Effects of community and center-based settings on the alertness of persons with profound mental retardation JO - Journal of applied behavior analysis A1 - Belfiore, P. J. A1 - Browder, D. M. A1 - Mace, F. C. SP - 401 EP - 402 VL - 26 IS - 3 N2 - We studied effects of different settings on the behavior of persons with profound mental retardation. Adaptive (alert) and nonadaptive behaviors were observed in two community settings and a center setting. Results of the descriptive assessment showed that participants engaged in a higher percentage of adaptive behaviors and a lower percentage of nonadaptive behaviors in the "high stimulation" community setting. The results are discussed in light of environmental setting events on persons with profound mental retardation.
