Jessie K. Weber; Katherine R. Brown; Billie J. Retzlaff; Alyssa M. Hurd; Heather J. Anderson; Kendra Smallwood – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
Functional analysis methods allow clinicians to determine the variable(s) that maintain destructive behavior. Previous reviews of functional analysis outcomes have included large samples of published and unpublished data sets (i.e., clinical samples). The purpose of this review was to conduct a large retrospective consecutive controlled case…

Mitteer, Daniel R.; Greer, Brian D.; Randall, Kayla R.; Haney, Sarah D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Prior studies on treatment relapse have typically examined the prevalence of resurgence or renewal of target behavior (e.g., destructive behavior) in isolation. This study analyzed both types of relapse during 25 consecutive treatments involving functional communication training during worsening reinforcement conditions for alternative behavior…

Staubitz, Johanna L.; Staubitz, John E.; Pollack, Marney S.; Haws, Rachel A.; Hopton, Michelle – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
The enhanced choice model of skill-based treatment (ECM-SBT; Rajaraman et al., 2021) is a package of behavioral treatment procedures with modifications designed to reduce risks associated with extinction of problem behavior. The skill-based treatment component of this package (Hanley et al., 2014) has been investigated thoroughly in clinical…

Victoria Scott; Valdeep Saini; Micaela Totino – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
Inappropriate mealtime behavior (IMB) is a type of feeding challenge within the broader class of food refusal. The purpose of this study was to critically analyze the efficacy of interventions for the treatment of IMB through a meta-analysis of research using single-case experimental designs. We examined the extent to which different interventions…

Staubitz, Johanna L.; Lloyd, Blair P.; Reed, Derek D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Progressive delay training (PDT) has been used to promote self-controlled choices (i.e., selecting a larger, later reward over a smaller, immediate reward) for people with a variety of developmental characteristics. However, the efficacy of PDT has not been evaluated in children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD), who often have…

Joslyn, P. Raymond; Vollmer, Timothy R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a well-documented group contingency designed to reduce disruptive behavior in classroom settings. However, few studies have evaluated the GBG with students who engage in severe problem behavior in alternative schools, and there are few demonstrations of training teachers in those settings to implement the GBG. In…

Fisher, Wayne W.; Greer, Brian D.; Mitteer, Daniel R.; Fuhrman, Ashley M.; Romani, Patrick W.; Zangrillo, Amanda N. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Recent research findings (DeRosa, Fisher, & Steege, 2015) suggest that minimizing exposure to the establishing operation (EO) for destructive behavior when differential reinforcement interventions like functional communication training (FCT) are introduced may produce more immediate reductions in destructive behavior and prevent or mitigate…

Groves, Emily A.; Austin, Jennifer L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) uses an interdependent group contingency to improve classroom behavior. Despite the wealth of research on the effectiveness of the GBG, some teachers may have concerns about their students' abilities to work in teams, particularly if they have a history of poor social skills. We used an alternating treatments design to…

Rubow, Christopher C.; Vollmer, Timothy R.; Joslyn, P. Raymond – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a classroom behavior management procedure that has been shown to be effective in reducing disruptive behavior across many settings and populations (Flower, McKenna, Bunuan, Muething, & Vega, 2014). We investigated the effects of the GBG on student and teacher behavior in two classrooms containing fourth- to…

Miliotis, Adriane; Sidener, Tina M.; Reeve, Kenneth F.; Carbone, Vincent; Sidener, David W.; Rader, Lisa; Delmolino, Lara – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Stimulus-stimulus pairing (SSP) of vocalizations pairs the speech of others with the delivery of highly preferred items. The goal of this procedure is to produce a temporary increase in vocalizations, thus creating a larger variety of sounds that can subsequently be brought under appropriate stimulus control (Esch, Carr, & Grow, 2009). In this…

Lee, David L.; Lylo, Brooke; Vostal, Brooks; Hua, Youjia – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Failure to initiate and remain engaged in academic tasks can have long-lasting effects for students. In this study, we investigated the effects of high-preference sequences on both digits correct per minute and latency to initiate nonpreferred mathematics problems for 3 students with emotional and behavioral disorders. We found that…

Lanovaz, Marc J.; Sladeczek, Ingrid E.; Rapp, John T. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
We examined the effects of manipulating the intensity (i.e., volume) of music on engagement in vocal stereotypy in 2 children with autism. Noncontingent access to music decreased immediate engagement in vocal stereotypy for each participant, but it produced only marginal effects on subsequent engagement in the behavior (i.e., after withdrawal).…

Smith, Carla M.; Smith, Richard G.; Dracobly, Joseph D.; Pace, Amy Peterson – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
We evaluated interrater agreement across multiple respondents on anecdotal assessments and compared cases in which agreement was obtained with outcomes of functional analyses. Experiment 1 evaluated agreement among multiple respondents on the function of problem behavior for 27 individuals across 42 target behaviors using the Motivation Assessment…

Ing, Anna D.; Roane, Henry S.; Veenstra, Rebecca A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Coprophagia, the ingestion of fecal matter, occurs among some individuals with developmental disabilities and is associated with a variety of health risks (e.g., diarrhea, intestinal parasites, blood-borne pathogens; Parry-Jones & Parry-Jones, 1992). Studies that have evaluated operant-based treatments of coprophagia have been limited by a lack of…

Boelter, Eric W.; Hagopian, Louis P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Previous research suggests that motivating operation (MO) manipulations may assist in assessing discriminated manding (Gutierrez et al., 2007). The current study partially replicated and extended previous research by varying access to concurrently available reinforcers with different preference values (i.e., MO manipulations). Manding did not…
