The present study provides evidence that milk or amniotic fluid (AF) can promote activity in the endogenous opioid system of the E20 rat fetus. Fetal responses to a chemosensory test stimulus (lemon) were reduced after intraoral infusion of milk (Experiment 1). The effect of milk was mimicked by the

Abstract
The effects of response blocking and competing stimuli on stereotypy and aggression were examined in an analysis conducted with a young girl diagnosed with autism and intellectual disability. A functional analysis of the stereotypic behavior revealed that blocking stereotypy increased aggression. The treatment analysis revealed that the provision of competing stimuli, without response blocking resulted in decreases in both topographies. Findings suggest that the provision of competing stimuli may be less likely to occasion other behaviors than blocking. Copyright Β© 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
