TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - The treatment of covert self-injury through contingencies on response products JO - Journal of applied behavior analysis A1 - Grace, N. C. A1 - Thompson, Ricardo A1 - Fisher, W. W. SP - 239 EP - 242 VL - 29 IS - 2 N2 - Assessment and treatment of covert self-injurious behavior are complicated because it is difficult to quantify and apply differential consequences to covert responses. In this study, both tangible and social reinforcers were identified using reinforcer assessment methods. These reinforcers were then provided contingent upon the absence of tissue damage identified during physical examinations, resulting in near 100% success in physical assessment checks that was maintained over 10 months.
