Elizabeth Linton; Gabriela Gomes; Jeanne M. Donaldson – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2025
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) on reducing unsafe playground behavior of young children at school and subsequently, if necessary, the additive effects of a brief time-out. The DRO procedure was effective in eliminating unsafe behavior for one of four participants. The…

Daniel E. Conine; Lera A. Dumas; Sarah A. Collum; Lindsey N. Wilson; Cassondra M. Gayman; Chelsea E. Keller; Videsha Marya – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2025
Among the developmental milestones related to language and communication in early childhood, one that has been the subject of considerable research is response to name (RTN). Delayed or absent RTN in early childhood is a diagnostic marker for autism spectrum disorder and a target behavior in many early intervention curricula. This article…

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…

Fisher, Wayne W.; Luczynski, Kevin C.; Blowers, Andrew P.; Vosters, Megan E.; Pisman, Maegan D.; Craig, Andy R.; Hood, Stephanie A.; Machado, Mychal A.; Lesser, Aaron D.; Piazza, Cathleen C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Parents play an important role in the treatment of their children's symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD); thus, developing effective, efficient, socially acceptable, and accessible procedures for training parents to implement applied-behavior-analysis (ABA) interventions is critically important. One potential approach involves delivering…

Betz, Alison M.; Higbee, Thomas S.; Kelley, Kristen N.; Sellers, Tyra P.; Pollard, Joy S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Children with autism often demonstrate less variable behavior than their typically developing peers and those with other cognitive disabilities. A possible reason for lack of response variability emitted by children with autism is that they do not have a variety of response forms in their repertoire. Multiple-exemplar training through the use of…

Wilkins, Jonathan W.; Piazza, Cathleen C.; Groff, Rebecca A.; Vaz, Petula C. M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Expulsion (spitting out food) is a problem behavior observed in many children with feeding disorders. In the current investigation, we identified 4 children diagnosed with a feeding disorder who exhibited high rates of expulsion. Treatment with re-presentation (placing expelled liquids or solids back into the child's mouth) was not effective in…

Passage, Michael; Tincani, Matt; Hantula, Donald A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
This study examined the effectiveness of using qualitatively different reinforcers to teach self-control to an adolescent boy who had been diagnosed with an intellectual disability. First, he was instructed to engage in an activity without programmed reinforcement. Next, he was instructed to engage in the activity under a two-choice fixed-duration…

Schiff, Averil; Tarbox, Jonathan; Lanagan, Taira; Farag, Peter – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Children with autism often display difficulty with swallowing pills and liquid medications. In the current study, stimulus fading and positive reinforcement established compliance with liquid medication administration in a young boy with autism. The boy's mother eventually administered liquid medication on her own. (Contains 1 figure.)

Volkert, Valerie M.; Vaz, Petula C. M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
This paper reviews recent studies on behavioral interventions for children with autism and feeding problems. The applicability of interventions that have been tested with other populations of children with feeding problems is discussed, as well as directions for future research.

Addison, Laura R.; Piazza, Cathleen C.; Patel, Meeta R.; Bachmeyer, Melanie H.; Rivas, Kristi M.; Milnes, Suzanne M.; Oddo, Jackie – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
We compared the effects of escape extinction (EE) plus noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) with sensory integration therapy as treatment for the feeding problems of 2 children. Results indicated that EE plus NCR was more effective in increasing acceptance, decreasing inappropriate behavior, and increasing amount consumed relative to sensory…

Valdimarsdottir, Hildur; Halldorsdottir, Lilja Yr; Sigurdardottir, Zuilma Gabriela – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
A multiple baseline across settings was used to evaluate the effects of differential reinforcement of alternative behavior, nonremoval of the fork (Hoch, Babbitt, Coe, Krell, & Hackbert, 1994), and stimulus fading on consumption of food rejected previously. The study was conducted in two separate settings, and caregivers were trained in the…

Rodriguez, Nicole M.; Thompson, Rachel H.; Baynham, Tanya Y. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
The current study presents a method for assessing the relative effects of attention and escape on noncompliance in preschoolers. Attention and escape conditions were alternated in a multielement design, and a contingency reversal procedure, in which one test condition served as a control for the other, was used to demonstrate control. For all 3…

Grauvogel-MacAleese, Alicia N.; Wallace, Michele D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
The present experiment extended and replicated the use of functional analysis and a peer-mediated intervention to decrease disruptive behavior displayed by children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in an afterschool program. After determining that the participants displayed off-task behavior maintained by peer attention via…

Lang, Russell; Davis, Tonya; O'Reilly, Mark; Machalicek, Wendy; Rispoli, Mandy; Sigafoos, Jeff; Lancioni, Giulio; Regester, April – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
The elopement of a child with Asperger syndrome was assessed using functional analyses and was treated in two school settings (classroom and resource room). Functional analyses indicated that elopement was maintained by access to attention in the resource room and obtaining a preferred activity in the classroom. Attention- and tangible-based…

Athens, Elizabeth S.; Vollmer, Timothy R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
We manipulated relative reinforcement for problem behavior and appropriate behavior using differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) without an extinction component. Seven children with developmental disabilities participated. We manipulated duration (Experiment 1), quality (Experiment 2), delay (Experiment 3), or a combination of…
