Rinaldi, Romina; Batselé, Elise; Haelewyck, Marie-Claire – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2022
Background: There is a high prevalence of challenging behaviors (CB) in adults with intellectual disability (ID), which lead to negative personal outcomes and diminished quality of life. Emerging evidence suggest attachment theory could be useful to address CB in adults with ID and lower the negative impact on their social environment. Methods: A…

Pokorski, Elizabeth A.; LeJeune, Lauren M. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Single case research designs (SCRDs) are integral to identifying evidence-based practices (EBPs) for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, the field lacks guidance on measuring response maintenance within SCRDs. We identified 103 studies in which researchers used SCRD to investigate the maintenance of behavioral intervention…

Brand, Denys; Henley, Amy J.; DiGennaro Reed, Florence D.; Gray, Elizabeth; Crabbs, Brittany – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2019
We reviewed parametric analyses of treatment integrity levels published in 10 behavior analytic journals through 2017. A total of 19 experiments (13 articles) met criteria for review. The objectives were to: (1) determine the number of experiments in which levels of treatment integrity were systematically manipulated; (2) identify the types of…

Ferguson, Jenny; Craig, Emma A.; Dounavi, Katerina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Interventions based on applied behaviour analysis are considered evidence based practice for autism spectrum disorders. Due to the shortage of highly qualified professionals required for their delivery, innovative models should be explored, such as telehealth. Telehealth utilises technology for remote training and supervision. The purpose of our…

Briesch, Amy M.; Briesch, Jacquelyn M. – School Psychology Review, 2016
The current study meta-analyzed 47 single-subject studies of behavioral self-management interventions that were published between 1971 and 2011. In addition to obtaining an overall measure of effect across all self-management studies (f = 0.93), analyses were conducted to assess whether treatment effectiveness was moderated by factors such as…

For more than 10 years, the "Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions" has published, among other types of articles, behavioral intervention outcome studies related to positive behavior support. Operationally defining interventions is important to facilitating replication studies and adoption of intervention in applied settings. Furthermore,…

David-Ferdon, Corinne; Kaslow, Nadine J. – Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 2008
The evidence-base of psychosocial treatment outcome studies for depressed youth conducted since 1998 is examined. All studies for depressed children meet Nathan and Gorman's (2002) criteria for Type 2 studies whereas the adolescent protocols meet criteria for both Type 1 and Type 2 studies. Based on the Task Force on the Promotion and…

Hallfors, Denise; Cho, Hyunsan – International Journal of Behavioral Consultation and Therapy, 2007
The gap between scientific knowledge and real world practice continues to be a major conundrum for the behavioral sciences. This paper briefly reviews the development of behavioral research and describes problems that have arisen in meeting the goal of improving behavioral interventions through science. Based on published literature and personal…

LeLaurin, Kathryn – Education and Treatment of Children, 1984
The paper reviews research in early education, early intervention, applied behavior analysis and parent/child interaction to illustrate how methods and findings might suggest a model for ecobehavioral research in child development. An ongoing program of research is described to demonstrate application of the model. (Author/CL)

Fulcher, Gary – Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 1984
A review of the behavioral literature on self-injurious behavior reveals that few definitive conclusions can be made regarding etiology, maintenance, or treatment. Recent evidence suggests that more thorough assessments are required and that antecedent intervention may hold promise for treatment. (Author/CL)

Graham, Sandra; Bellmore, Amy D. – Theory Into Practice, 2007
In this article, the authors describe recent research on peer victimization and its mental health consequences during early adolescence. They begin with a working definition of peer victimization that distinguishes it from lethal school violence and from simple conflict between peers. They then present a psychosocial profile of youth who are…

Vollmer, Timothy R. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1994
This article discusses problems inherent in the analysis of automatically reinforced behaviors, which are behaviors that are maintained by operant mechanisms independent of the social environment. Four classes of treatment that are compatible with automatic reinforcement are reviewed, including manipulations of establishing operations, sensory…

Smith, Tristram – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2001
This article on the use of applied behavior analysis with students who have autism focuses on discrete trial training (DTT) to develop new forms of behavior, new discriminations, advanced skills, and manage disruptive behavior. Cautions include the need to combine the method with other interventions, provide intensive DTT during early phases of…
