“…The finding is consistent with research conducted by Lanovaz et al (2009), Lanovaz et al, (2012, Saylor et al (2012), and Rapp (2007). They found that MT decreases stereotyped behaviors in children with autism and presenting nonrandom access to musical stimuli normally decreases reinforced behavior more than other conventional stimuli.…”

“…They found that MT decreases stereotyped behaviors in children with autism and presenting nonrandom access to musical stimuli normally decreases reinforced behavior more than other conventional stimuli. Thus, with this method, stereotyped behavior is shorter and decreases with sensory extinction (Saylor et al, 2012). This result is consistent with the research conducted by , Petrus et al (2008), and Lang et al (2009) They examined the effectiveness of game intervention in children with autism, and the results showed positive effects in decreasing stereotyped behaviors of children with autism.…”

“…Since stereotyped behaviors appear in the absence of social consequences, using auditory-vocal stimuli especially music is effective as an automatic reinforcement for these children (Saylor, Sidener, Reeve, Fetherston, & Progar, 2012). The use of music and music-based games improve, delay, and restrict non-musical background of children with autism (Reschke-Hernandez, 2011).…”

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of Music Therapy (MT) along with Play Therapy (PT) on increasing appropriate Social Behaviors (SBs) and decreasing inappropriate stereotyped behaviors of children with autism.Methods: This is an experimental study, and we used pre-test and post-test control group design to analyze the data. The study sample included 30 children with autism between the ages of 6 and 12 years who were randomly selected and assigned into experimental and control groups. To collect data, the Autism Assessment Quotient, Teacher Assessment of Social Behavior Questionnaire, and Gilliam's Autism Rating Subscale were used. In this study, the experimental group underwent a total of 15 sessions of training with MT along with PT for a period of 7 weeks, whereas the control group did not receive such training.Results: Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that training with MT along with PT increased pro-social subscales (P=0.001) and decreased shyness/withdrawal subscales (P=0.001) and that stereotyped behaviors in children with autism decreased (P=0.01). Conclusion:MT along with PT increased appropriate SBs and decreased inappropriate stereotyped behaviors of children with autism. Therefore, we can conclude that strengthening MT and PT skills should be considered one of the basic axes for professionals and educators in training and curing children with autism.

“…In recent years, a growing number of studies have examined the effects of matched stimulation on engagement in vocal stereotypy (e.g., Ahearn, Clark, DeBar, & Florentino, 2005;Lanovaz, Sladeczek, & Rapp, 2011;Rapp, 2007;Saylor, Sidener, Reeve, Fetherston, & Progar, 2012). In the case of vocal stereotypy, matched stimulation typically involves continuous access to stimuli that produce auditory stimulation.…”

Effects of Noncontingent Music on Vocal Stereotypy and Toy Manipulation in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders

Noncontingent music has been shown to reduce engagement in vocal stereotypy in children with autism spectrum disorders, but its effects on appropriate collateral behavior remain unknown. Given that noncontingent music is typically implemented during periods of free play, clinicians may be concerned with the effects of the intervention on toy manipulation. Thus, we examined the immediate and subsequent effects of noncontingent music on engagement in vocal stereotypy and toy manipulation in four children with autism spectrum disorders by using a three-component multiple schedule combined with a multi-element design. The results suggest that noncontingent music (i) reduced immediate engagement in vocal stereotypy for three of four participants, (ii) never increased subsequent engagement in vocal stereotypy, and (iii) produced idiosyncratic effects on immediate and subsequent engagement in toy manipulation for two participants. The clinical implications of the results are discussed in terms of improving the treatment of vocal stereotypy using noncontingent music.

The purpose of this study was to expand on research on treatments for stereotypy by evaluating the effects of response interruption and redirection (RIRD) and response cost (RC) alone and as a treatment package on vocal stereotypy. Treatment phases included RIRD, RC, and response interruption and redirection plus response cost (RIRD + RC).The efficacy of these treatments was determined by measuring duration of stereotypy in session and during treatment intervals. Vocal stereotypy decreased in all three treatment conditions; however, when data analysis included stereotypy occurring during treatment intervals, stereotypy during the RC condition occurred at similar levels as baseline for one treatment evaluation phase for Karl and both treatment evaluations phases for Jon. We discuss implications of these findings, limitations of the current study, and areas for future research.
