Machado, Mychal A.; Luczynski, Kevin C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
The current study evaluated whether a computer-based training program could improve observers' accuracy in scoring discrete instances of problem behavior at 5x normal speed using a multiple-baseline design across subjects. During pretraining and posttraining, observers attempted to score multiple examples of problem behavior at 5.0x without…

Vladescu, Jason C.; Day-Watkins, Jessica; Schnell, Lauren K.; Carrow, Jacqueline N. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Annually, thousands of infant deaths are classified as sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs). In an effort to reduce the risk of SUIDs, the American Academy of Pediatrics has made a number of recommendations to educate caregivers, childcare providers, and healthcare professionals on safe infant sleep practices. The purpose of the current study…

Quintero, Laura M.; Moore, James W.; Yeager, M. Garrett; Rowsey, Kyle; Olmi, D. Joe; Britton-Slater, Joshua; Harper, Michaela L.; Zezenski, Lauren E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Recently, concerns regarding sport-related concussions have increased within the research literature, the media, and popular culture. One potential source of soccer-related concussions involves the purposeful striking of the ball with one's head (i.e., heading). There is currently limited research on an effective teaching method to improve safe…

Neef, Nancy A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1986
Four experiments were conducted to evaluate a respite care training package. Effects of an instructional manual on acquisition of respite care skills were investigated and compared with a workshop approach. A simplified package was developed and found useable by respite care personnel. (CL)

Kahng, Sung Woo; Hendrickson, Daniel J.; Vu, Chau P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2000
Two functional communication training (FCT) conditions were compared to treat behavior problems of a child with mental retardation. The child was taught to emit a single FCT response to obtain one of six items or multiple FCT responses that specified the exact item. Only the FCT-multiple conditions reduced problem behavior. (Contains four…

Fisher, Wayne; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1993
In this study, functional communication training alone and combined with extinction and/or punishment was evaluated for four clients with severe retardation, behavior problems, and communication deficits. Results showed that the combination of training plus punishment produced the largest and most consistent reductions in target behavior problems.…

Fisher, Wayne W.; Thompson, Rachel H.; Kuhn, David E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1998
Two children with mental retardation were trained to emit different communication responses to request the reinforcer for destructive behavior and an alternative reinforcer. Differential reinforcement of communication reduced destructive behavior regardless of whether a functional reinforcer or an alternative reinforcer was available or whether…
