  • Title: A brief correction procedure for the management of high rate spitting in a profoundly retarded girl.
    Author: Clements JC, Ditchburn C, Grumm D.
    Journal: J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry; 1982 Dec; 13(4):353-6. PubMed ID: 7166610.
    Abstract:
    This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a brief correction procedure in decelerating a high rate anti-social behaviour (spitting) in a profoundly retarded girl. A simple correction procedure seemed as effective as a more elaborate procedure incorporating positive practice elements, and gains were sustained with some variability over an extended period of time. No reliable increases in collateral behaviours were noted to result from the deceleration in spitting.
