title = "The establishing effects of client location on self-injurious behavior",
abstract = "Three functional assessments were conducted with a client with self injurious behavior (SIB), which indicated that SIB appeared to be sensitive to attention as reinforcement. In addition, levels of SIB were much higher when the client was seated in his wheelchair. An additional analysis was conducted in which client location (in and out of wheelchair) was altered while reinforcement contingencies (attention) for SIB were held constant. Levels of SIB again were higher when the client was positioned in his wheelchair; even though the consequences for SIB were identical. The results of this final analysis suggested that the wheelchair functioned as an establishing stimulus altering the efficacy of social positive reinforcement.",

note = "Funding Information: Analogue functional analyses (e.g., Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, & Richman, 1994) consist of several conditions in which establishing operations, consequent events, and discriminative stimuli are manipulated. Although most functional analysis research has focused on the consequences that maintain aberrant behavior, there is increasing recognition of the importance of antecedent stimuli, which may be correlated with or discriminative for reinforcement, or which may establish or alter the effectiveness of reinforcement (Michael, 1993). Smith, Iwata, Goh, and Shore (1995) evaluated the establishing effects of a variety of stimuli (i.e., task novelty, duration of session, and rate of task presentation) on self-injurious behavior (SIB) maintained by negative reinforcement (escape This investigation was supported in part by Grant MCJ249149-02 from the Maternal and Child Health Service of the U,S. Department of Health and Human Services.",
