Direct linkFrank-Crawford, Michelle A.; Borrero, John C.; Nguyen, Linda; Leon-Enriquez, Yanerys; Carreau-Webster, Abbey B.; DeLeon, Iser G. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
The delivery of food contingent on 10 s of consecutive toy engagement resulted in a decrease in engagement and a corresponding increase in other responses that had been previously reinforced with food. Similar effects were not observed when tokens exchangeable for the same food were delivered, suggesting that engagement was disrupted by the…

Predicting Preference for Items during Periods of Extended Access Based on Early Response Allocation
Download full textRapp, John T.; Rojas, Nairim C.; Colby-Dirksen, Amanda M.; Swanson, Greg J.; Marvin, Kendra L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
Top-ranked items were identified during 30-min free-operant preference assessments for 9 individuals. Data from each session were analyzed to identify the item (a) that was engaged with first in each session and (b) to which the most responding was allocated after 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, and 25 min had elapsed in each session. The results…

Schrandt, Jessica A.; Townsend, Dawn Buffington; Poulson, Claire L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
The purpose of this study was to teach empathetic responding to 4 children with autism. Instructors presented vignettes with dolls and puppets demonstrating various types of affect and used prompt delay, modeling, manual prompts, behavioral rehearsals, and reinforcement to teach participants to perform empathy responses. Increases in empathetic…

Peer reviewedBaer, Ruth A.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1988
Six four-year-olds were subjects in two experiments on correspondence training procedures with toy play behaviors. The experiments found that presence or absence of children's verbalizations exerted no influence on play with target toys, and that children were less likely to engage in target behaviors when no antecedent experimenter verbalization…

Peer reviewedDeLeon, Iser G.; Anders, Bonita M.; Rodriguez-Catter, Vanessa; Neidert, Pamela L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2000
The automatically reinforced self-injury of a girl (age 11) with autism was treated by providing noncontingent access to a single set of preferred toys during 30-minute sessions. Rotating toy sets after 10 minutes or providing access to multiple toy sets resulted in reductions that lasted the entire 30 minutes. (Contains four references.)…

Peer reviewedVan Camp, Carole M.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Kelley, Michael E.; Roane, Henry S.; Contrucci, Stephanie A.; Vorndran, Christina M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2000
A study examined idiosyncratic environment-behavior relations associated with increased levels of problem behavior of a child with mental retardation and a typical child. Results indicated that idiosyncratic antecedent stimuli set the occasion for occurrences of problem behavior and that the behavior persisted in the absence of social…
