Abstract
The escape-maintained destructive behavior of a girl with mental retar dation persisted during hygiene routines with directive prompting, dif ferential reinforcement for compliance, and extinction as treatment. U sing nondirective prompting and noncontingent reinforcement, destructi ve behavior was reduced to near-zero levels during the hygiene routine .
