On Friday, April 13, 2018 at 14.00-16.00, a club journal presentation was held by Dwi Atmoko’s S-3 student at the Primatology Study Program who discussed the behavior of head banging on monkeys. A paper entitled: “Self-Injurious Behavior: Shaping” head-Banging: in Monkeys “is published in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis.

Head banging behavior is a common phenomenon that occurs in people who have mental problems. This study demonstrates that this behavior is a result of formation under the stimulus, so that it can be extinguished and reappeared on 2 monkey subjects through reinforcement and discrimination procedures. That behavior is a condition as a condition of self-injury.
