Covariation of Stereotyped Behaviour and Engagement
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 October 2014
Abstract
We examined the covariation of stereotyped behaviour and engagement in persons with profound intellectual and physical disabilities. Data are presented on the rates of stereotyped behaviour and engagement immediately prior to, during, and immediately after training sessions aimed at increasing manipulation of entertainment materials such as toys. The results indicated that (a) training was successful in achieving increased engagement, (b) stereotyped behaviour decreased when the level of engagement increased, even though stereotyped behaviour was not incompatible with engagement, and (c) after training ceased, stereotyped behaviour increased to higher levels than baseline and engagement decreased to below baseline levels.
