Two profoundly mentally retarded adolescents who displayed both self-injurious behavior (SIB) and self-restraint were treated with a mild interruption (I) procedure alone, and I combined with the differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI). Interruption combined with DRI proved highly effective in reducing the SIB of one student, but not of the other. Possible reasons for these differential results are discussed.
