Social Referencing Training in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Study
Sivaraman, Maithri; Virues-Ortega, Javier; Maes-Dhaeyere, Lieselot; Saelaert, Emaël; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been shown to exhibit fewer instances of social referencing compared to their typically developing peers. The current study evaluated the effectiveness of multiple-exemplar training, prompting, and social reinforcement to teach social referencing. We used a single-blind randomized control trial…

Morris, Samuel L.; Vollmer, Timothy R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Recent research has developed and evaluated assessments of sociability in which time allocation near or away from an adult who initiates social interactions is used to characterize the participant as social, indifferent, or avoidant of social interaction. Though these qualitative outcomes have been useful, no studies have evaluated methods of…

Slanzi, Crystal M.; Vollmer, Timothy R.; Iwata, Brian A.; Kronfli, Faris R.; Williams, Lisa Pabst; Perez, Brandon C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
A goal of some functional analysis (FA) variations is to reduce assessment time while still maintaining efficacy. This may be especially important when conducting FAs in early intervention programs, where time is a crucial commodity. To that end, we evaluated a model for using the results of the no-interaction condition as a screening for…

Ward, Shannon N.; Hanley, Gregory P.; Warner, Christine A.; Gage, Ellen E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
When problem behavior is controlled by a synthesized reinforcement contingency, a simple omnibus mand that yields access to all reinforcers simultaneously has been shown to effectively replace problem behavior. The question arises as to whether teaching an omnibus mand will preclude the acquisition of specifying mands for each of the combined…

Rodriguez, Nicole M.; Aragon, Michael A.; McKeown, Ciobha A.; Glodowski, Kathryn R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Intraverbal tacts are an example of multiply controlled verbal behavior. More specifically, they are verbal responses under control of both a nonverbal (visual) stimulus (e.g., a green ball) and a verbal (auditory) stimulus (e.g., "What color?" vs. "What shape?"). Studies have shown that verbal behavior training can be arranged…

degli Espinosa, Francesca; Wolff, Kate; Hewett, Sophie – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Previous research has investigated generalized intraverbal-tacting by teaching children with autism to respond using autoclitic frames. The present study compared the effectiveness and efficiency of a Frame and a No Frame procedure across counterbalanced stimulus sets with 4 children with autism. In the Frame condition, children were taught to…

Bergmann, Samantha; Turner, Maria; Kodak, Tiffany; Grow, Laura L.; Meyerhofer, Courtney; Niland, Haven S.; Edmonds, Kaitlyn – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are taught conditional discriminations often during early intervention. Auditory-visual conditional discrimination (AVCD) training requires the presentation of multiple antecedent stimuli, and the order of stimulus presentation varies in the literature. This series of studies replicated previous…

Halbur, Mary; Kodak, Tiffany; Williams, Xi'an; Reidy, Jessi; Halbur, Christopher – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
A portion of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulty acquiring conditional discrimination. However, previous researchers suggested that the discrimination of nonverbal auditory stimuli may be acquired more efficiently (Eikeseth & Hayward, 2009; Uwer, et al., 2002). For example, a child may learn to touch a…

Rosales, Ma Krishna; Wilder, David A.; Montalvo, Melissa; Fagan, Benjamin – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
The high-probability (high-p) instructional sequence typically consists of the delivery of a series of high-p instructions immediately followed by the delivery of a low-probability (low-p) instruction and is a commonly used procedure to increase compliance among children with intellectual disabilities. In the current study, we used withdrawal…

Cengher, Mirela; Fienup, Daniel M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
This study examined the effects of presession attention on the acquisition of tacts (Experiment 1) and intraverbals (Experiment 2) in children diagnosed with autism. Each participant experienced 3 conditions. In the first 2 conditions, participants experienced a 15-min interval of either presession attention (PA) or no presession attention (NPA)…

Kodak, Tiffany; Halbur, Mary; Bergmann, Samantha; Costello, Dayna R.; Benitez, Brittany; Olsen, Miranda; Gorgan, Ella; Cliett, Terra – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Previous studies on skill acquisition have taught targets in stimulus sets composed of different numbers of stimuli. Although the rationale for selection of a stimulus set size is not clear, the number of target stimuli trained within a set is a treatment decision for which there is limited empirical support. The current investigation compared the…

Jimenez-Gomez, Corina; Haggerty, Katherine; Topçuoglu, Basak – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Activity schedules consist of a series of visual discriminative stimuli, arranged in booklets or binders, which function as prompts for appropriate behavior. Although activity schedules are useful, their typical presentation in binders can be cumbersome and stigmatizing, placing additional barriers for independence and inclusion. The purpose of…

Petit-Frere, Paula; Miltenberger, Raymond G. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Accidental poisonings can occur for children with disabilities as a result of ingesting household products, such as medications and cleaning chemicals, if the products are not stored safely. Behavioral approaches such as behavioral skills training (BST) have been used in previous research to teach safety skills to children with disabilities.…

Ribeiro, Daniela M.; Miguel, Caio F. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Previous research has shown that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can categorize visual stimuli without direct training when they can also tact these stimuli using a common name and behave as listeners in relation to this name. However, children usually learn to assign objects specific names prior to learning the category to which they…

Protopopova, Alexandra; Matter, Ashley L.; Harris, Breanna N.; Wiskow, Katie M.; Donaldson, Jeanne M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
This study compared contingent and noncontingent access to therapy dogs during educational tasks for children with autism spectrum disorder using a multielement design. The experimenters assessed whether initial preference for the dog predicted reinforcer efficacy and how preference changed across time. A higher response rate during contingent dog…
