Abstract
The present study reports the successful use of a positive practice overcorrection procedure for reducing sterotyped hair-pulling in a 7 1 2 -yr-old severely mentally retarded girl. This procedure was implemented after the unsuccessful use of a response prevention “treatment” by her parents. In addition, a verbal warning procedure was used to maintain the near-zero rate of hair-pulling achieved through overcorrection. Follow-up data for 1 year were reported.
