Aggressive behavior in a child with developmental delays decreased when social interaction was added to breaks, suggesting its importance in managing multiply controlled behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Applied Behavior Analysis

Background:

  • Problem behavior in children with developmental delays can be multiply controlled.
  • Understanding the function of behavior is crucial for effective intervention.

Observation:

  • Aggressive behavior occurred when a child was asked to stop playing and pick up toys.
  • This request signaled the end of play and social interaction, suggesting multiple establishing operations.

Findings:

  • Initial treatment with praise, breaks, and toy access contingent on compliance showed limited success.
  • Aggression significantly decreased only when social interaction was incorporated into the break component.

Implications:

  • Social interaction may be a critical component in treating multiply controlled problem behavior.
