Abstract

Children with Asperger's syndrome tend to exhibit aggressive behavior when faced with interpersonal problems. Music tasks aimed at promoting behavioral control were used with one such child (a male, 5 years 7 months old at the start of the study), and the process of developing behavioral control through self-evaluation using music tasks was investigated. The child's self-evaluations included those that were positive, negative, and wrong. In order to improve his self-evaluation, 2 consecutive positive evaluations and inappropriate behaviors were modified through negative evaluations. As the opportunity for self-evaluation increased, the child was able to make correct self-evaluations and increase his motivation, thereby promoting behavioral control. Future studies should investigate the relation between the non-verbal communication behavior of music therapists and children's self-evaluations, as well as effects of this on promoting behavioral control.
