Cortez, Mariéle Diniz; dos Santos, Letícia; Quintal, Ana Elisa; Silveira, Marcelo V.; de Rose, Julio C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
We evaluated the effects of tact and listener instruction on the emergence of bidirectional intraverbal relations with 6 typically developing Brazilian children, using an adapted alternating treatment design with pretest and posttest probes. In listener instruction, participants selected pictures that corresponded to spoken foreign-language words.…

Normand, Matthew P.; Burji, Carla – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
The Step it UP! Game is an interdependent group reinforcement contingency based on the Good Behavior Game. We evaluated the effects of the Step it UP! Game on the number of steps taken by 3rd-grade students during physical-education (PE) classes at a local public elementary school. We divided the class into 2 teams and awarded a "Step it UP!…

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]).…

Lepper, Tracy L.; Petursdottir, Anna Ingeborg; Esch, Barbara E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
We evaluated the effects of operant discrimination training (ODT) on the vocalizations of 3 boys with autism. We compared ODT to a stimulus-stimulus pairing (SSP) condition and a control condition in an adapted alternating-treatments design. ODT increased the target vocalizations of all participants compared to the control condition, and its…

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…

Petursdottir, Anna Ingeborg; Carr, James E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
We review recommendations for sequencing instruction in receptive and expressive language objectives in early and intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) programs. Several books recommend completing receptive protocols before introducing corresponding expressive protocols. However, this recommendation has little empirical support, and some…

Rosales, Rocio; Rehfeldt, Ruth Anne; Huffman, Nancy – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
We evaluated the effectiveness of a stimulus pairing observation procedure to facilitate tact and listener relations in preschool children learning a second language. This procedure resulted in the establishment of most listener relations as well as some tact relations. Multiple-exemplar training resulted in the establishment of most of the…

Saville, Bryan K.; Zinn, Tracy E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
Although previous studies have found interteaching to be an effective alternative to traditional methods of instruction, few studies have examined which of its components contribute to its effectiveness. In the current study, we examined whether manipulating quality points had an effect on our students' exam scores. In two sections of an…

Normand, Matthew P.; Kestner, Kathryn; Jessel, Joshua – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
When we evaluated variables that influence the effectiveness of the high-probability (high-p) instruction sequence, the sequence was associated with a precipitous decrease in compliance with high-"p" instructions for 1 participant, thereby precluding continued use of the sequence. We investigated the reasons for this decrease. Stimuli associated…

Walker, Brooke D.; Rehfeldt, Ruth Anne – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
The purpose of the current study was to examine the degree to which instruction based on stimulus equivalence procedures could be used to teach single-subject design methodology to graduate-level professionals through a Web-based course management system known as Blackboard (see http://www.blackboard.com). Specifically, we used the stimulus…

Vladescu, Jason C.; Kodak, Tiffany – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
Although the use of differential reinforcement has been recommended in previous investigations and in early intervention curriculum manuals, few studies have evaluated the best method for providing differential reinforcement to maximize independent responding. This paper reviews previous research on the effectiveness of differential reinforcement…

Leaf, Justin B.; Sheldon, Jan B.; Sherman, James A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
This study compared no-no prompting procedures to simultaneous prompting procedures for 3 children with autism. Using a parallel treatments design, researchers taught rote math skills, receptive labels, or answers to "wh-" questions with both prompting systems. Results indicated that no-no prompting was effective in teaching all skills. By…

Dixon, Mark R.; Nastally, Becky L.; Jackson, James E.; Habib, Reza – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
This study investigated the potential for recreational gamblers to respond as if certain types of losing slot machine outcomes were actually closer to a win than others (termed the "near-miss effect"). Exposure to conditional discrimination training and testing disrupted this effect for 10 of the 16 participants. These 10 participants demonstrated…

Levingston, Heather B.; Neef, Nancy A.; Cihon, Traci M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
We examined the effects of teaching overt precurrent behaviors on the current operant of solving multiplication and division word problems. Two students were taught four precurrent behaviors (identification of label, operation, larger numbers, and smaller numbers) in a different order, in the context of a multiple baseline design. After meeting…

Mudford, Oliver C.; Martin, Neil T.; Hui, Jasmine K. Y.; Taylor, Sarah Ann – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
The three algorithms most frequently selected by behavior-analytic researchers to compute interobserver agreement with continuous recording were used to assess the accuracy of data recorded from video samples on handheld computers by 12 observers. Rate and duration of responding were recorded for three samples each. Data files were compared with…
