Haney, Sarah D.; Greer, Brian D.; Mitteer, Daniel R.; Randall, Kayla R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Resurgence and renewal are treatment-relapse phenomena in which previously extinguished behavior returns after the conditions for an alternative response worsen or the context changes, respectively. Recently, researchers have evaluated the prevalence of resurgence and renewal when treating destructive behavior with functional communication…

Sunde, Eleah; Briggs, Adam M.; Mitteer, Daniel R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Prior research has evaluated the reliability and validity of structured visual inspection (SVI) criteria for interpreting functional analysis (FA) outcomes (Hagopian et al., 1997; Roane et al., 2013). We adapted these criteria to meet the unique needs of interpreting latency-based FA outcomes and examined the reliability and validity of applying…

Mandel, Natalie R.; Cividini-Motta, Catia; Schram, Jeffrey; MacNaul, Hannah – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
This study examined if listener behavior and responding by exclusion would emerge after training 3 participants with autism to tact stimuli. Tacts for 2 of 3 stimuli were directly trained using discrete trial training methodology and were followed by an auditory-visual discrimination probe in which auditory-visual discrimination by naming (i.e.,…

Lewon, Matthew; Webb, E. Kate; Brotheridge, Sydney M.; Cox, Christophe; Fast, Cynthia D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Animal trainers working in scent detection programs are responsible for arranging training contingencies as well as for observing and recording animal behavior. We provided behavioral skills training (BST) to animal trainers working with scent detection rats to improve the treatment integrity of scent-detection research sessions. We evaluated the…

Rodriguez, Nicole M.; Thompson, Rachel H.; Schlichenmeyer, Kevin; Stocco, Corey S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Of the diagnostic features of autism, relatively little research has been devoted to restricted and repetitive behavior, particularly topographically complex forms of restricted and repetitive behavior such as rigidity in routines or compulsive-like behavior (e.g., arranging objects in patterns or rows). Like vocal or motor stereotypy,…

Tiger, Jeffrey H.; Miller, Sarah J.; Mevers, Joanna Lomas; Mintz, Joslyn Cynkus; Scheithauer, Mindy C.; Alvarez, Jessica – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
School consultants who rely on direct observation typically conduct observational samples (e.g., 1 30-min observation per day) with the hopes that the sample is representative of performance during the remainder of the day, but the representativeness of these samples is unclear. In the current study, we recorded the problem behavior of 3 referred…

Stocco, Corey S.; Thompson, Rachel H.; Rodriguez, Nicole M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Restricted and repetitive behavior (RRB) is more pervasive, prevalent, frequent, and severe in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) than in their typical peers. One subtype of RRB is restricted interests in items or activities, which is evident in the manner in which individuals engage with items (e.g., repetitious wheel spinning),…

Anderson, Cynthia M.; Doughty, Shannon S.; Doughty, Adam H.; Williams, Dean C.; Saunders, Kathryn J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
Stereotypical behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement often does not result in harm but may be undesirable in some situations. In the current investigation, participants were 2 individuals who engaged in nonharmful stereotypical responses shown in an analogue functional analysis to be insensitive to social contingencies. After bringing…

Witherup, Luanne R.; Vollmer, Timothy R.; Van Camp, Carole M.; Goh, Han-Leong; Borrero, John C.; Mayfield, Kristin – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2008
The current study evaluated the use of various behavioral measures of running away with regard to (a) the differential utility of interval- versus event-based measures, (b) the differential utility of rate versus duration measures, (c) the utility of correcting for occurrence opportunity, and (d) the influence of unit of analysis (i.e.,…

Touchette, Paul E.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1985
The authors suggest that line graphs that average response frequency over long periods obscure the major rate changes that indicate sources of behavioral control. A scatter plot can make patterns of responding identifiable and, in turn, suggest environmental features that occasion undesirable behavior. Use of scatter diagrams is illustrated in…

Newsom, Crighton; Lovaas, O. Ivar – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
The authors respond to criticism of their paper proposing a perceptual reinforcement of stereotyped movements in autistic and mentally retarded persons. The alternative theory based on neurobiological factors is judged to be insufficiently detailed and inadequate in scope. (Author/DB)

Pfiffner, Linda J.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1985
Examination of on-task behavior and academic performance of eight behavior problem second and third graders revealed that an all-positive approach relying primarily on praise was not effective. Ss' rates of on-task behavior were high and stable when an individualized reward system was used, however. (CL)

Sigafoos, Jeff; Dempsey, Roslyn – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1992
This study assessed the validity of idiosyncratic choice-making behaviors of three children with multiple disabilities. Children were given either their "choice" of food or drink or were given the opposite. Direct observations of children's acceptance or refusal revealed the children consistently indicated choices during both conditions.…

Baer, Ruth A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
The investigation of the effect of normative amounts of caffeine on the behavior of six normal kindergarten children found that caffeine exerted only small and inconsistent effects on such classroom behaviors as time off-task and gross motor activity. (Author/DB)

Green, Carolyn W.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
Three experiments were conducted involving five people with profound multiple disabilities, to determine whether variations in alertness affected subsequent responsiveness to training programs. Findings suggest that existing levels of alertness do not indicate how individuals will respond during training and that alertness actually can be…
