Nazurah Khokhar; Alison D. Cox; Autumn Kozluk – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Applied behavioral pharmacology explores how drugs may influence problem behavior in persons with intellectual and developmental disability (IDD). A comprehensive review was conducted featuring single-case experimental designs in the domain of applied behavioral pharmacology to evaluate and report on study quality. Studies included in the review…

King, Tracy M.; Parisi, Melissa A. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
As a major funder of research on intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), NIH has a broad view of the profound impact of cultural and structural barriers on the characteristics of IDD study populations and the composition of the IDD research workforce. While long overdue, multiple efforts are currently underway across NIH aimed at…

Sy, Jolene R.; Vollmer, Timothy R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
We evaluated the discrimination acquisition of individuals with developmental disabilities under immediate and delayed reinforcement. In Experiment 1, discrimination between two alternatives was examined when reinforcement was immediate or delayed by 20 s, 30 s, or 40 s. In Experiment 2, discrimination between 2 alternatives was compared across an…

Kover, Sara T.; Atwood, Amy K. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2013
This methodological review draws attention to the challenges faced by intellectual and developmental disabilities researchers in the appropriate design and analysis of group comparison studies. We provide a brief overview of matching methodologies in the field, emphasizing group-matching designs used in behavioral research on cognition and…

Bourret, Jason C.; Iwata, Brian A.; Harper, Jill M.; North, Stephen T. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Five individuals with autism or other developmental disabilities participated in paired-stimulus preference assessments during repeated baseline probes. All subjects initially showed a pronounced bias by typically selecting the stimulus placed in either the left or right position. Biased responding for 3 subjects was eliminated when training…

Meier, Aimee E.; Fryling, Mitch J.; Wallace, Michele D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Studies have evaluated a range of interventions to treat food selectivity in children with autism and related developmental disabilities. The high-probability instructional sequence is one intervention with variable results in this area. We evaluated the effectiveness of a high-probability sequence using 3 presentations of a preferred food on…

Kang, Soyeon; O'Reilly, Mark F.; Fragale, Christina L.; Aguilar, Jeannie M.; Rispoli, Mandy; Lang, Russell – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
The rates of problem behavior maintained by different reinforcers were evaluated across 3 preference assessment formats (i.e., paired stimulus, multiple-stimulus without replacement, and free operant). The experimenter administered each assessment format 5 times in a random order for 7 children with developmental disabilities whose problem…

Carbone, Vincent J.; Sweeney-Kerwin, Emily J.; Attanasio, Vivian; Kasper, Tamara – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of manual sign mand training combined with prompt delay and vocal prompting on the production of vocal responses in nonvocal children with developmental disabilities. A multiple baseline design across participants verified the effectiveness of this intervention. All participants showed…

Lionello-DeNolf, Karen M.; Dube, William V.; McIlvane, William J. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2010
Translational research inspired by behavioral momentum theory in the area of developmental disabilities has shown effects in individuals over a range of functioning levels. In the current study, behavioral momentum was assessed in 6 children diagnosed with autism and severe intellectual disability. In a repeated measures design, participants were…

Mendres, Amber E.; Borrero, John C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
When responses function to produce the same reinforcer, a response class exists. Researchers have examined response classes in applied settings; however, the challenges associated with conducting applied research on response class development have recently necessitated the development of an analogue response class model. To date, little research…

Friman, Patrick C. – Behavior Analyst, 2010
Behavior analysis is a generic science, and Skinner's vision for it was that it would become a mainstream force, relevant for most if not all human concerns, major and minor. Clearly his vision has not been realized. Determining why this is the case would require a complex multifactorial analysis. One likely factor is that the majority of its…

Tiger, Jeffrey H.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Toussaint, Karen A.; Kodak, Tiffany – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
Most often functional analyses are initiated using a standard set of test conditions, similar to those described by Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, and Richman [Iwata, B. A., Dorsey, M. F., Slifer, K. J., Bauman, K. E., & Richman, G. S. (1994). "Toward a functional analysis of self-injury." "Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 27", 197-209…

Shabani, Daniel B.; Carr, James E.; Petursdottir, Anna Ingeborg – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
If the members of a functional response class occur in a predictable order, a response-class hierarchy is said to exist. Although this topic has received some attention in the applied literature, it remains relatively understudied. The purpose of the current investigation was to develop an analogue model of a response-class hierarchy. Children…

Collins, Shawnee; Higbee, Thomas S.; Salzberg, Charles L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
We investigated the effects of video modeling on the percentage of correctly implemented problem-solving steps by staff in a group home for adults with developmental disabilities, using a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design across participants. The treatment consisted of staff watching a video model demonstrating the correct implementation of a…

Wilczynski, Susan M.; Pollack, Eileen G. – Exceptional Parent, 2009
In the United States and throughout the world, one's understanding of autism and other related disorders continues to evolve. Parents, educators, and health professionals today benefit from significant advancements in both the diagnosis and treatment of autism. However, the need to evaluate and select from a list of treatment options can be…
