Product Description:

A functional analysis suggested that bizarre speech of an individual with developmental disabilities was maintained by attention. The content of verbal attention was manipulated in two subsequent analyses and revealed that a) bizarre speech was more frequent when attention was related to the participant’s bizarre speech and b) the participant’s statements tended to reflect the content of the therapists’ attention, whether bizarre or nonbizzare.
