Abstract
Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of audio and visual stimulation, alone or in combination, on the behavior of three children who displayed multiple forms of stereotypy (e.g., hand mouthing, body rocking). The results of experiment 1 showed that all three participants displayed different forms of stereotypy when audio and visual stimulation were provided versus when no stimulation was provided. The results of experiments 2 and 3 showed that the form of one participant's stereotypy, but not the other two, changed when visual stimulation and audio stimulation were presented separately. Overall, the results suggest that ambient stimulation may influence both the form of and time allocation to stereotypy. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
