  • Title: Assessment of a response bias for aggression over functionally equivalent appropriate behavior.
    Author: DeLeon IG, Fisher WW, Herman KM, Crosland KC.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 2000; 33(1):73-7. PubMed ID: 10738953.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated the effects of a dense (fixed-ratio 1) schedule of reinforcement for an 11-year-old boy's mands for toys while aggression produced the same toys on various schedules chosen on the basis of a progressive-ratio probe. Based on the probe session data, we accurately predicted that aggression would be more probable than mands when the schedules were equal or slightly discrepant, but that mands would be more probable when the schedule discrepancy was large.
