Kim, Ji Young; Fienup, Daniel M.; Draus, Cassandra J.; Wong, Kristina K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
We compared the effects of different "mastery" criteria and doses on the acquisition and maintenance of sight words for 4 second graders with and without disabilities. First, we replicated Set Analysis and Operant Analysis conditions where participants were taught sight words in 20-trial (4 operants, 5 opportunities) sessions.…

Slanzi, Crystal M.; Vollmer, Timothy R.; Iwata, Brian A.; Kronfli, Faris R.; Williams, Lisa Pabst; Perez, Brandon C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
A goal of some functional analysis (FA) variations is to reduce assessment time while still maintaining efficacy. This may be especially important when conducting FAs in early intervention programs, where time is a crucial commodity. To that end, we evaluated a model for using the results of the no-interaction condition as a screening for…

Montes, Christina C.; Heinicke, Megan R.; Geierman, Danielle M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Recent research suggests that a modified habit reversal procedure, including awareness training alone or combined with competing response training, is effective in decreasing speech disfluencies for college students. However, these procedures are potentially lengthy, sometimes require additional booster sessions, and could result in covariation of…

Fuhrman, Ashley M.; Greer, Brian D.; Zangrillo, Amanda N.; Fisher, Wayne W. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Arranging periods in which requests for reinforcement are denied in a multiple schedule may result in increased destructive behavior during these periods for individuals who receive functional communication training (FCT) as treatment for severe destructive behavior. Providing access to competing activities during periods of reinforcer…

Spieler, Claire; Miltenberger, Raymond – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
This study evaluated the effectiveness of awareness training for the reduction of three nervous habits that manifest during public speaking: filled pauses, tongue clicks, and inappropriate use of the word "like." Four university students delivered short speeches during baseline and assessment sessions. Awareness training resulted in…

May, Richard J.; Downs, Rachel; Marchant, Amanda; Dymond, Simon – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
We evaluated the emergence of untaught second-language skills following directly taught listener and intraverbal responses. Three preschool children were taught first-language (English) listener responses (e.g., "Point to the horse") and second-language (Welsh) intraverbal responses (e.g., "What is horse in Welsh?" [ceffyl]).…

Garcia, David; Dukes, Charles; Brady, Michael P.; Scott, Jack; Wilson, Cynthia L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
We evaluated the efficacy of an instructional procedure to teach young children with autism to evacuate settings and notify an adult during a fire alarm. A multiple baseline design across children showed that an intervention that included modeling, rehearsal, and praise was effective in teaching fire safety skills. Safety skills generalized to…

Pennington, Robert; Delano, Monica; Scott, Renee – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
We evaluated a multicomponent intervention for improving the cover-letter writing skills of individuals with intellectual disabilities. An intervention that included modeling, self-monitoring, prompting, and feedback increased correct performance for all participants. In addition, the skill was demonstrated across audiences.

Ditzian, Kyle; Wilder, David A.; King, Allison; Tanz, Jeanine – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2015
The Performance Diagnostic Checklist-Human Services (PDC-HS) is an informant-based tool designed to assess the environmental variables that contribute to poor employee performance in human services settings. We administered the PDC-HS to 3 supervisors to assess the variables that contributed to poor performance by 4 staff members when securing…

Kodak, Tiffany; Fisher, Wayne W.; Paden, Amber; Dickes, Nitasha – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
We evaluated a discrete-trial functional analysis implemented by regular classroom staff in a classroom setting. The results suggest that the discrete-trial functional analysis identified a social function for each participant and may require fewer staff than standard functional analysis procedures.

Cook, Andrew; Bradley-Johnson, Sharon; Johnson, C. Merle – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
We evaluated the effects of white noise played through headphones on off-task behavior, percentage of items completed, and percentage of items completed correctly for 3 students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Headphones plus white noise were associated with decreases in off-task behavior relative to baseline and…

Newquist, Matthew H.; Dozier, Claudia L.; Neidert, Pamela L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Some children make impulsive choices (i.e., choose a small but immediate reinforcer over a large but delayed reinforcer). Previous research has shown that delay fading, providing an alternative activity during the delay, teaching participants to repeat a rule during the delay, combining delay fading with an alternative activity, and combining…

Greer, Brian D.; Neidert, Pamela L.; Dozier, Claudia L.; Payne, Steven W.; Zonneveld, Kimberley L. M.; Harper, Amy M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
We conducted functional analyses (FA) with 4 typically developing preschool children during ongoing classroom activities and evaluated treatments that were based on FA results. Results of each child's FA suggested social-positive reinforcement functions, and differential reinforcement of alternative behavior plus time-out was effective in…

Harrison, Antonio M.; Pyles, David A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
We evaluated verbal instruction and shaping using TAG (teaching with acoustical guidance) to improve tackling by 3 high school football players. Verbal instruction and shaping improved tackling for all 3 participants. In addition, performance was maintained as participants moved more quickly through the tackling procedure.

Forbes, Bethany E.; Skinner, Christopher H.; Black, Michelle P.; Yaw, Jared; Booher, Joshua; Delisle, Jean – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
Using alternating treatments designs, we compared learning rates across 2 computer-based flash-card interventions (3?min each): a traditional drill intervention with 15 unknown words and an interspersal intervention with 12 known words and 3 unknown words. Each student acquired more words under the traditional drill intervention. Discussion…
