Jensen Chotto – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is an effective procedure for reducing disruptive classroom behavior. In this study, students in 3 fifth grade classes selected the rules of the GBG and then experienced the GBG with different forms of feedback delivery for rule violations (vocal and visual, vocal only, visual only, no feedback) on disruptive classroom…

Silva, Erika; Wiskow, Katie M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is an effective intervention to reduce disruptive behavior. The GBG typically involves immediate stimulus presentation (e.g., delivery of a token) following disruptions; however, experimenters have also removed tokens contingent upon disruptions. In the present study, we compared the effects of the GBG-stimulus…

O'Handley, Roderick D.; Dufrene, Brad A.; Whipple, Heather – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2018
The school-based consultation literature includes a variety of empirically supported procedures for increasing teachers' implementation of classroom management strategies. However, teachers may respond differently to empirically supported consultation procedures. This study used a multiple baseline design across three elementary teachers to test…

Sam, A. – National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2016
Based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA), discrete trial training (DTT) is used to develop a new response to a stimulus. DTT is based upon the principle of breaking down behavior into discrete steps called a "single teaching unit" or learning trials. Trials are repeated several times with the learner receiving…

Reddy, Linda; Dudek, Christopher M. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
The present study utilized a randomized control trial to test the efficacy of a teacher coaching and formative assessment model combined with visual performance feedback to enhance teachers' classroom practices. The sample included 89 general education teachers, stratified by grade level, and randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (1)…

Ruocco, Sylvia; Freeman, Nerelie C.; McLean, Louise A. – Educational and Developmental Psychologist, 2018
This study examined the effects of a school-based cognitive-behavioural group intervention for anxiety in young children, Get Lost Mr Scary, on child self-reported anxiety and coping skills. Participants included 65 children (M[subscript age] = 6.50 years, SD[subscript age] = 0.75) drawn from 13 public primary schools located in Western Sydney,…

Markelz, Andrew M.; Taylor, Jonte C.; Kitchen, Tom; Riccomini, Paul J.; Catherine Scheeler, Mary; McNaughton, David B. – Exceptional Children, 2019
Effectively managing a classroom is crucial in promoting positive student outcomes. Behavior-specific praise is an empirically supported strategy to reinforce desirable student behaviors. Following a review of the literature, we identified tactile prompting and self-monitoring as effective methods to increase teachers' use of behavior-specific…

Holmes, Barbara; Gibson, Jamel; Morrison-Danner, Dietrich – Contemporary Issues in Education Research, 2014
Student aggression and violent behavior, especially among males, is pervasive and problematic in the classroom. When incorporated in the lesson design, promising practices (music, movement, and visual stimulation) are evidence-based strategies that may reduce male aggression in the classroom.

Portnow, Sam; Downer, Jason; Brown, Josh – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2015
Participation in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs reduces aggressive and antisocial behavior (Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki, Taylor, & Schellinger, 2011). Theoretically, SEL programs foster social and emotionally intelligent youth through improving children's social and emotional skills, defined in the present study as the ability to…

Falcomata, Terry S.; Muething, Colin S.; Gainey, Summer; Hoffman, Katherine; Fragale, Christina – Behavior Modification, 2013
We evaluated functional communication training (FCT) combined with a chained schedule of reinforcement procedure for the treatment of challenging behavior exhibited by two individuals diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and autism. Following functional analyses that suggested that challenging behavior served multiple functions for both participants,…

Normand, Matthew P.; Beaulieu, Lauren – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
The effect of a fixed-time (FT) schedule involving the delivery of preferred stimuli prior to the issuance of a low-probability instruction was evaluated with 2 young children with autism. The FT schedule was introduced according to a reversal design with 3 target instructions, 1 for the first child and 2 for the second child. Compliance increased…

Nelson, Leslie Lynn – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently display an inability to self-regulate (use materials appropriately and refrain from self-stimulatory behavior) and self-monitor (complete each step in a task before continuing to the next step) their behavior and therefore experience a great deal of failure within their respective…

Kupzyk, Sara; Daly, Edward J., III; Andersen, Melissa N. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Flash cards have been shown to be useful for teaching sight-word reading. To date, the most effective flash-card instruction method is incremental rehearsal (IR). This method involves the instructor interspersing unknown stimulus items into the presentation of known stimulus items. In this study, we compared IR to a modified IR…

Haley, Janet L.; Heick, Patrick F.; Luiselli, James K. – Child & Family Behavior Therapy, 2010
This study examined the use of an antecedent-based intervention to reduce the vocal stereotypy of a student diagnosed with Autism within the general education classroom. The student displayed frequent nonfunctional speech and disruptive vocal sounds. An antecedent-based intervention, involving the use of qualitatively different cards--to cue the…

Schneider, Naomi; Goldstein, Howard – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2010
The current study investigated the effects of Social Stories written according to Gray's specifications on on-task behavior in inclusive classroom settings in three children with autism. Using a multiple-baseline design across participants, modest improvements in on-task behavior were associated with implementation of an auditory-visual Social…
