MANIPULATION OF SELF‐DESTRUCTION IN THREE RETARDED CHILDREN1
Open accessAbstract
The study attempted to isolate some of the environmental conditions that controlled the self‐destructive behavior of three severely retarded and psychotic children. In the extinction study subjects were placed in a room where they were allowed to hurt themselves, isolated from interpersonal contact. They eventually ceased to hurt themselves in that situation, the rate of self‐destruction falling gradually over successive days. In the punishment study, subjects were administered painful electric shock contingent on the self‐destructive behavior. (1) The self‐destructive behavior was immediately suppressed. (2) The behavior recurred when shock was removed. (3) The suppression was selective, both across physical locales and interpersonal situations, as a function of the presence of shock. (4) Generalized effects on other, non‐shock behaviors, appeared in a clinically desirable direction. Finally, a study was reported where self‐destructive behavior increased when certain social attentions were given contingent upon that behavior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
