Kranak, Michael P.; Mitteer, Daniel R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
This Concise Review is an appraisal of contemporary research on teaching single-case experimental design (SCED) graphical creation published between 2017-2021. Recent work on SCED graphical creation is summarized and areas for future research are highlighted.

Matt Tincani; Shawn P. Gilroy; Art Dowdy – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
Open science practices are designed to enhance the utility, integrity, and credibility of scientific research. This article highlights how preregistration in open science practice can be leveraged to enhance the rigor and transparency of single-case experimental designs within an applied behavior analysis framework. We provide an overview of the…

Thompson, Rachel H.; Iwata, Brian A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2005
A demonstration of the effects of reinforcement requires comparison of response rates in the presence of a contingency with those in another condition that controls for the influence of extraneous variables. We describe several control conditions that have been used in evaluating the effects of positive and negative reinforcement. The…

Reyes, Jorge R.; Vollmer, Timothy R.; Sloman, Kimberly N.; Hall, Astrid; Reed, Robert; Jansen, Greg; Carr, Sam; Jackson, Kevin; Stoutimore, Michael – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2006
Ten individuals, residing in a treatment facility specializing in the rehabilitation of sex offenders with developmental disabilities, participated in an arousal assessment involving the use of the penile plethysmograph. The arousal assessments involved measuring change in penile circumference to various categories of stimuli both appropriate…

Bullock, Chrystin; Normand, Matthew P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2006
We compared the effects of a high-probability (high-"p") instruction sequence and a fixed-time (FT) schedule of reinforcement on the compliance of 2 typically developing children. A multielement experimental design with a reversal component was implemented according to a multiple baseline across participants arrangement. Both the high-"p" and FT…

Saudargas, Richard A.; Zanolli, Kathleen – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1990
This study comparing momentary time sampling against the real time obtained with handheld computers confirmed laboratory findings that short-elementary time sampling estimates percentage time accurately for a wide range of behavior frequencies and durations, and suggested that observers using momentary time sampling in a natural setting are able…
