Abstract | This study with 45 institutionalized individuals with mental retardation and self injurious behavior (SIB) calculated conditional probability using sequential analysis techniques. It found that successive episodes of self-injury were sequentially dependent and this association was not related to frequency or rate of occurrence. The best predictor of SIB was an earlier SIB episode, consistent with a contagious distribution. (Contains references.) (Author/DB) |
