Ciara Brennan; Avril Deegan; Clare Bohan; Sinéad Smyth – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2025
Group contingencies are well established as methods for reducing disruptive classroom behaviors and increasing academic behaviors. However, their role in increasing prosocial behaviors has not yet been explored to the same extent. We conducted a systematic review of the single-case literature to synthesize the types of prosocial and antisocial…

Jones, Stephanie H.; St. Peter, Claire C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
The finding that differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) is efficacious at 80% integrity when continuous reinforcement is programmed for alternative responding may have contributed to a perception that integrity at 80% or above is acceptable. However, research also suggests that other interventions (e.g., noncontingent…

Emily N. White; Sara K. Snyder; Rachel R. Cagliani; Kevin M. Ayres – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2025
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (n.d.) suggests that acquisition and use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is dynamic and that learning multiple modalities may be beneficial particularly for those individuals with severe disabilities. Evaluation of response variability after training multiple modalities has yet…

Groves, Emily A.; May, Richard J.; Rees, Rachel E.; Austin, Jennifer L. – Psychology in the Schools, 2022
The good behavior game (GBG) is a classroom management intervention that employs a group contingency to support appropriate behavior and reduce classroom disruptions. To date, the majority of GBG research has included participants of typical development in mainstream education classrooms or alternative schools. The current study evaluated the GBG…

Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the resulting pandemic had widespread implications on the safety of the job tasks teachers are charged with each day. The Center for Disease Control (CDC, 2020) recommends people age 2 years and older should wear masks in public settings; however, for children with disabilities, wearing a mask may be difficult and as…

Griffin, Megan M.; Copeland, Susan R.; Maez, Rolanda – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is characterized by impulsivity and deficits in executive functioning. Given this, individuals with FASD might particularly benefit from interventions that teach them to manage their own behavior in a more adaptive manner. Using a reversal (ABAB) design, the current study investigated the effects of a…

Singer, Isaac; Ivy, Sarah E.; Myers, Sasha – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2021
Introduction: Little is known about the effects of specific behavioral strategies to reduce stereotypy and self-injury for learners with sensory impairments and additional disabilities. Method: A single-subject, multi-treatment withdrawal design was used to test the isolated and combined effects of physical prompting to engage in object…

Ashley K. Holt; Erik Drasgow; Katie Wolfe – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2024
Teachers of young children with moderate to significant support needs may have insufficient training to implement naturalistic instructional practices such as contingent responding. Naturalistic instructional practices are well researched, but limited studies exist on training teachers to use contingent responses to support children increasing…

Peyton A. Johnstone; Paul Caldarella; Christian V. Sabey; Howard P. Wills – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2025
Class-wide Function-related Intervention Teams (CW-FIT) is a classroom management intervention in which teachers incorporate positive behavior support (PBS) principles by teaching specific classroom expectations and providing feedback on student behavior as part of an interdependent group contingency. Interventions like CW-FIT may be helpful for…

Stremel, J. Meredith; Hawkins, Renee O.; Collins, Tai A.; Nabors, Laura – Psychology in the Schools, 2022
An ABAB design was used to analyze the effects of positive peer reporting plus a randomized dependent group contingency (PPR + DGC). This intervention package was implemented across three classrooms in an alternative school setting for students diagnosed with emotional and behavioral disorders. The DGC consisted of the teacher randomly choosing a…

Copeland, Susan R.; Griffin, Megan M.; DiLuzio, Heather; Maez, Rolanda – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Self-management has been found to be favorable for improving a wide variety of skills as well as decreasing problematic behaviors in individuals with a range of disabilities. We used a single case withdrawal design to investigate the use of a self-management intervention on problem behaviors of a nine-year-old Native American child with fetal…

Bohan, Clare; McDowell, Claire; Smyth, Sinéad – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2022
This study evaluated use of the Caught Being Good Game (CBGG) across two adolescent student populations, maintaining a focus on the provision of feedback during the game. The CBGG, a variation of the group contingency intervention the Good Behavior Game (GBG), is a classroom management intervention that involves the provision of points to teams of…

Hawkins, Renee O.; Collins, Tai A.; Haas Ramirez, Lauren; Murphy, J. Meredith; Ritter, Chelsea – Behavioral Disorders, 2020
Using an ABAB withdrawal design, the study evaluated the direct and generalized effects of a combined independent and interdependent group contingency on the engagement and disruptive behavior of two groups of students enrolled in an alternative school serving students with emotional and behavioral disorders. Class 1 included seven middle school…

Joslyn, P. Raymond; Vollmer, Timothy R.; Kronfli, Faris R. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2019
Group contingencies have been indicated to be effective in reducing disruptive behavior and increasing academic engagement in school settings. Previous research has demonstrated their efficacy with a wide range of student ages, but there have been few studies with older students who engage in severe disruptive behavior. In the current study, we…

Chaffee, Ruth K.; Briesch, Amy M.; Volpe, Robert J.; Johnson, Austin H.; Dudley, Laura – Behavioral Disorders, 2020
Class-wide behavioral interventions are a feasible and effective method to support the behavior of all students. In six peer-reviewed studies, Tootling, a class-wide intervention that combines positive peer reporting with an interdependent group contingency, has increased positive peer reports and academically engaged behavior (AEB), and decreased…
