The uses of mechanical vibration with the severely mentally handicapped. Part I: Clinical effects, 7
The development of the use of vibration with people with mental handicaps is traced from its status as a particular form of sensory stimulation to its role as a reinforcer. Studies are reviewed in which claims for the usefulness of vibration are made and tested, with special reference to the eradication of stereotypic, including self‐injurious, behaviours and the acquisition of self‐care and other skills. Discussion of therapeutic applications is limited to the reinforcing property of relaxation. Two main theoretical approaches are considered: one relating vibration, stereotypy, and arousal theory; the other suggesting the special relevance of vibration for individuals at the earliest stages of development. These views are taken to be complementary. Inclusion of vibration in the repertoire of possible reinforcers is recommended, while having regard to the special needs and circumstances of each individual.
