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…

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…

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…

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…

Samaha, Andrew L.; Vollmer, Timothy R.; Borrero, Carrie; Sloman, Kimberly; Pipkin, Claire St. Peter; Bourret, Jason – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
Descriptive observations were conducted to record problem behavior displayed by participants and to record antecedents and consequences delivered by caregivers. Next, functional analyses were conducted to identify reinforcers for problem behavior. Then, using data from the descriptive observations, lag-sequential analyses were conducted to examine…

Rhode, Ginger; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1983
Six behaviorally handicapped elementary students participated in short-term resource treatment to bring their behavior under the control of a combination of treatment procedures emphasizing self-evaluation. Results indicated that students maintained appropriate classroom behavior in their regular classrooms, once self-evaluation procedures were…

Friman, Patrick C.; Vollmer, Dennis – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1995
A urine alarm, typically used to treat nocturnal enuresis, was effectively used to treat diurnal enuresis in a 15-year-old female with depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and conduct disorder. The study indicated that the alarm eliminated wetting in both treatment phases and that continence was maintained at three-month and…

Dunlap, Glen; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
Two elementary school students with emotional/behavioral challenges increased task engagement and reduced disruptive behavior when allowed to choose academic tasks. The effects of choice making were distinguished from preference, by yoking a no-choice phase to a previous choice-making condition; the yoked control phase was inferior to the…

Allen, Keith D.; Warzak, William J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2000
This article analyzes variables associated with adherence by parents to recommendations designed to solve common childhood problems and specific corresponding processes that are responsible for poor adherence. Adherence variables include establishing operations, stimulus generalization, response acquisition, and consequent events. (Contains…
