Q

What are some possible reasons behind SIB?

A
  • Response to illness
  • Self-restraint
  • Comorbidity of movement disorders
  • Operant behaviour
  • Neurotransmitter disturbance

Q

What influences the prevalence of these behaviours in ID?

A
  • Methodological issues: e.g. time/criteria

- Sampling issues: e.g. age, comorbidity

Q

What are the classes of reinforcement (table)?

A
  • Presented on response + Strengthened = positive reinforcement
  • Removed on response + Strengthened= negative reinforcement
  • Presented on response + weakened = positive punishment
  • Removed on response + weakened = negative punishment

  • Negative social reinforcement: Task escape
  • Automatic reinforcement: sensory/perceptual

Q

Describe the social communication function of Challenging Behaviour in regards to positive reinforcement.

A

Need for others to do/give something -> CB -> Aversive (concern, frustration, anxiety) -> ACTION -> Engage (comfort, reprimand, restrain, occupy) -> Reward: positive reinforcement -> Increased chance of CB -> need for others to do/give something

Q

What evidence is there for positive reinforcement of CB due to social communicative functions?

A

Hall & Oliver, 1992: Probability of social contact was at its lowest for the longest time before CB, decreased once behaviour had ended and went back to a middle rate of social contact.
Establishing Operation: Wants social contact
Resistant to extinction because schedule of getting social contact is unpredictable.

Q

What is different about negative reinforcement communicative functions of CB compared to positive?

A

Negative reinforcement wants another person to stop doing something and increases the chance of SIB at the end, not CB.

17
Q

What evidence is there for negative reinforcement?

A

Carr et al., 1980: Demands = SIB. Escape = factor of aggressive behaviour. Used a withdrawal design.

18
Q

What did Carr and Owen (2007) find about problem behaviour in Developmental disorders?

A
  • Pain and problem behaviour are related
  • Used retrospective screening of patients
  • Higher pain = higher frequency and intensity, seen on sick days
  • Overall sick days behaviour likelihood is 4.73 vs 1.75 on well days
  • Pain is a setting event
  • Higher rates of physical illness in the disabled population, so should be identifying links of pain and behaviour
  • Pain and discomfort associated with physical illness mediate the display of serious problem behaviour
19
Q

What risk markers did McClintock and Oliver (2003) find for CB?

A
  • Meta-analysis of 22 studies
  • Males = more aggressive
  • Severe/profound ID = increased stereotypy and SIB
  • Autism = increased SIB/aggression/disruption to environment
  • Lower receptive and expressive communication = higher SIB
  • Severe ID/autism/poor communication = risk markers
20
Q

What did Totsika et al. (2008) find about persistence of CB?

A
  • 58 adults living in a group setting for 11 years
  • Behaviour survey and rater interviews with staff
  • High persistence rates found
  • Only used patients who stayed
  • Correlational design
  • Used staff who knew the patients well: may have been biased
  • Persistence rates similar to previous findings
  • Generalisability to out of home arrangements unknown
  • Valid across time gap
21
Q

What did Symons and Thompson (1997) investigate in SIB?

A
  • Body preference
  • 80% head and hands
  • 75% front of head
  • 83% back of hands
  • 32% stimulation produced with no pain sites
