Dixon, Mark R.; Rowsey, Kyle E.; Gunnarsson, Karl F.; Belisle, Jordan; Stanley, Caleb R.; Daar, Jacob H. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2017
With the rising number of individuals diagnosed with autism and other developmental disabilities comes an increased need for effective assessment and treatment options. Previous research has indicated that applied behavior analytic techniques are among the most empirically supported and utilized treatments for this population; however, curriculum…

Mulé, Christina M.; Daniels, Brian; Volpe, Robert J.; Briesch, Amy M.; Joseph, Laurice M.; Harris, Kristin; Silwinski, Samantha; Leslie, Laurel K. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2018
Traditional drill and practice (TDP) has been shown to be both effective and efficient for increasing word recognition. WordSheets (WS) is a novel drill procedure similar to TDP with two key differences: (a) WS increases opportunities to respond, which may increase efficiency and (b) WS present instructional stimuli in a context that more closely…

León, Alberto L.; Rosales, Rocío – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2018
We evaluated the effects of tact training when instruction was presented in English only compared to tact training in a bilingual format (in English and the home language, Portuguese) for a participant diagnosed with a communication disorder. The participant's parents completed a questionnaire describing his exposure to both languages prior to the…

Ramon, Duong; Yu, C. T.; Martin, Garry L.; Martin, Toby – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2015
We evaluated a self-instructional training manual for conducting multiple-stimulus without replacement stimulus preference assessment. The manual was compared to a method description, adapted from the method sections of previous published research articles, in an unbalanced crossover design with 18 undergraduate university students, randomly…

Ennis, Robin Parks; Jolivette, Kristine; Terry, Nicole Patton; Fredrick, Laura D.; Alberto, Paul A. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2015
One promising intervention to support the writing skills of students with and at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders is self-regulated strategy development (SRSD). The purpose of this study was to extend this line of inquiry to a residential setting with teachers serving as interventionists and determine the effects of the SRSD using the…

Silber, Jennifer M.; Martens, Brian K. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2010
This study compared a multiple exemplar approach involving the training of key words and sentence structures to a typical repeated readings procedure for their effects on students' generalized oral reading fluency. The two training approaches were also compared in terms of their relative learning rates (i.e., fluency gain per minute of instruction…

Klubnik, Cynthia; Ardoin, Scott P. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2010
Fluency has been identified as an important outcome of effective reading instruction, and intervention packages utilizing the method of repeated readings have been shown to improve oral reading fluency. In order to improve the efficiency of these intervention packages, more research is needed on the effectiveness of small group reading…

Ardoin, Scott P.; McCall, Michael; Klubnik, Cynthia – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2007
Extensive evidence exists demonstrating the benefits of repeated readings (RR) interventions at increasing students' fluency on intervention passages. Few studies however have examined the extent to which repeatedly reading one passage improves students' reading fluency on similar passages. Using an alternating treatment design, we examined the…

Daly, Edward J., III; Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Persampieri, Michael; Bonfiglio, Christine M.; LaFleur, Kristy – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2004
The purpose of the current study was to examine blending and segmenting of phonemes as an instance of small, textual response classes that students learn to combine to produce whole word reading. Using an A/B/A/B design, a phoneme segmenting and blending condition that included differential reinforcement for response classes at the level of…
