    Shortening the time between trials in educational settings for autistic children reduced autistic self-stimulatory behaviors and improved correct responding. Other self-stimulatory behaviors were unaffected by trial interval length.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Autism Spectrum Disorder Research

    Background:

    • Autistic children often exhibit self-stimulatory behaviors.
    • Understanding factors influencing these behaviors is crucial for effective interventions.
    • Intertrial intervals (ITIs) are a potential variable affecting behavior.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of short versus long intertrial intervals (ITIs) on autistic children's behavior.
    • To examine the relationship between ITI length and autistic self-stimulatory behavior.
    • To assess the effect of ITI length on correct responding and other self-stimulatory behaviors.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of short and long intertrial intervals (ITIs).
    • Measurement of autistic self-stimulatory behavior.

  • Measurement of correct responding.
  • Measurement of other self-stimulatory behaviors.

    • Main Results:

    • Short ITIs decreased autistic self-stimulatory responding.
    • Short ITIs increased correct responding.
    • Other self-stimulatory behaviors showed no systematic relationship with ITI length.

    Conclusions:

    • Manipulating intertrial intervals (ITIs) can be an effective strategy to reduce autistic self-stimulatory behavior.
    • Shorter ITIs may enhance learning and correct responding in autistic children.
    • Findings have implications for designing educational strategies for autistic children.
