Johnson, Kate A.; Vladescu, Jason C.; Kodak, Tiffany; Sidener, Tina M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
Differential reinforcement procedures may promote unprompted correct responding, resulting in a quicker transfer of stimulus control than nondifferential reinforcement. Recent studies that have compared reinforcement arrangements have found that the most effective arrangement may differ across participants. The current study conducted an…

Lepper, Tracy L.; Petursdottir, Anna Ingeborg – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
Research on stimulus-stimulus pairing to induce novel vocalizations in nonverbal children has typically employed response-independent pairing (RIP) procedures to condition speech sounds as reinforcers. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a response-contingent pairing (RCP) procedure on the vocalizations of three…

Quinn, Mallory J.; Miltenberger, Raymond G.; Fogel, Victoria A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2015
Behavioral research to enhance sports performance has been conducted in numerous sports domains and often involves feedback from the coach to the student. One promising form of feedback is the use of an acoustical stimulus such as a clicker to provide more immediate feedback. Similar to clicker training with animals, acoustical stimuli are used…

Pelaez, Martha; Virues-Ortega, Javier; Gewirtz, Jacob L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Maternal vocal imitation of infant vocalizations is highly prevalent during face-to-face interactions of infants and their caregivers. Although maternal vocal imitation has been associated with later verbal development, its potentially reinforcing effect on infant vocalizations has not been explored experimentally. This study examined the…

Esch, Barbara E.; Carr, James E.; Grow, Laura L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
Evidence to support stimulus-stimulus pairing (SSP) in speech acquisition is less than robust, calling into question the ability of SSP to reliably establish automatically reinforcing properties of speech and limiting the procedure's clinical utility for increasing vocalizations. We evaluated the effects of a modified SSP procedure on…

Rapp, John T. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2007
The effects of preferred stimulation on the vocal stereotypy of 2 individuals were evaluated in two experiments. The results of Experiment 1 showed that (a) the vocal stereotypy of both participants persisted in the absence of social consequences, (b) 1 participant manipulated toys that did and did not produce auditory stimulation, but only…
