Zhenwen Liang – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Mathematical reasoning, a fundamental aspect of human cognition, poses significant challenges for artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Despite recent advancements in natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs), AI's ability to replicate human-like reasoning, generalization, and efficiency remains an ongoing research…

Zawacki, Jessica M. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The number of direct support professionals (DSPs) needed to support the increasing numbers of adults diagnosed with autism within the United States continues to grow exponentially. DSPs receive minimal training and often fail to generalize the training they have received, which can directly lead to poor learning outcomes for the adults they serve.…

Angela Dawn Fuller – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This study was a qualitative examination of special education teachers' perceptions of social skills training for students with autism. The problem is that without social skills training, individuals with autism are not learning the social skills necessary for independence. Those impacted by social vulnerabilities are individuals with autism,…

Jodi K. Heidlage – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Down Syndrome (DS) is an intellectual disability (ID) characterized by a distinct profile of behavioral characteristics that impact language learning. One specific area of challenge is moving from producing single words to producing more complex syntax. Although there is a broad evidence base for existing interventions for children with DS,…

Danielle Gender-Walters – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The purpose of this study was to determine an effective training method of improving direct support professionals' (DSPs) ability to accurately and descriptively report antecedent, behavior, and function. A training method, multiple exemplar training (MET), which is not typically applied to this population, was utilized to determine its…

Jennifer Hu – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Language is one of the hallmarks of intelligence, demanding explanation in a theory of human cognition. However, language presents unique practical challenges for quantitative empirical research, making many linguistic theories difficult to test at naturalistic scales. Artificial neural network language models (LMs) provide a new tool for studying…

Meka N. McCammon – ProQuest LLC, 2021
With the rapid increase in the diagnostic rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there has been a growing need for evaluating the trends in training natural change agents to implement behavioral interventions and coming to a consensus on training procedures that are efficacious, efficient, and accessible. The purpose of this multiple manuscript…

Forte, Solandy – ProQuest LLC, 2017
It is often necessary for the behavior analyst practitioner to work across a variety of settings, including home, school, and community, in which it is common practice for those practitioners to provide training to caregivers and direct-care staff, who may have limited knowledge and experience within the field of applied behavior analysis. A…

MacDonald, Jacquelyn – ProQuest LLC, 2014
Observational learning is a critical skill needed for the acquisition of social skills and is likely an important skill for learning within traditional educational settings. Although several varying definitions of observational learning have been posited, for the purpose of the present study, observational learning (OL) was defined as differential…

Chung, Man Sum – ProQuest LLC, 2016
Given that more paraprofessionals are hired to deliver one-on-one intervention to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) under the auspices of behavioral health agencies, it is important that these paraprofessionals receive adequate supervision to support their implementation of high quality intervention while often working alone without…

Groskreutz, Nicole C. – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Everyone, including children with developmental disabilities, encounters stimuli they find aversive every day (e.g., the sound of a classmate tapping their pencil). These aversive stimuli may not be problematic for typically developing individuals, because they learn to behave in ways that allow them to escape or avoid this aversive stimulation.…

Love, Jessica June – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of PECS phase III application training on independent mands in young children with autism. Participants were five children with autism ranging from ages 2 to 4 years old. A multiple baseline across participants was used to evaluate acquisition of independent correct mands across baseline and…

Hartley, Breanne K. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
This study evaluates the necessity of training multiple versus single manipulative-imitations per object in order to establish generalized manipulative-imitation. Training took place in Croyden Avenue School's Early Childhood Developmental Delay preschool classroom in Kalamazoo, MI. Two groups of 3 children each were trained to imitate in order to…

Turner, Kylan – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Sleep problems are a common occurrence among children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In addition to the challenges that sleep problems present for children's neurodevelopment, learning, and daytime behaviors, sleep problems in children present significant challenges for the entire family. Research studies on behavioral interventions to…
