Direct linkMace, F. Charles; McComas, Jennifer J.; Mauro, Benjamin C.; Progar, Patrick R.; Taylor, Bridget; Ervin, Ruth; Zangrillo, Amanda N. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2010
Basic research with pigeons on behavioral momentum suggests that differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) can increase the resistance of target behavior to change. This finding suggests that clinical applications of DRA may inadvertently increase the persistence of target behavior even as it decreases its frequency. We conducted…

Peer reviewedMace, F. Charles; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
Three adolescent students with special educational needs were given reinforcers (nickels) according to three different concurrent variable-interval schedules. Time allocated to the assigned tasks was in linear relationship to the reinforcement rate. However, changes in reinforcement schedules were not followed by changes in allocation patterns…

Peer reviewedMace, F. Charles; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1992
Behavioral analysis of reinforcers, adversities, and responses to adversities in videotapes of 14 college basketball games found that a team's favorable response to an adversity increased as the rate of reinforcement increased 3 minutes preceding the adversity and that calling time-outs was an effective intervention for reducing the opponent's…
