Peer reviewedStein, David B.; Smith, Edward D. – Adolescence, 1990
Compared REST (Real Economy System for Teens) program, which combines behavioral treatment and cognitive restructuring, with traditional talk therapy, which uses primarily cognitive restructuring, in treatment of oppositional defiant adolescents. Results showed significantly greater improvement on all target behaviors (room care, personal hygiene,…

Peer reviewedMeichenbaum, Donald – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1993
Presents retrospective analysis of cognitive behavior modification which reveals that three major metaphors have been offered to explain the role that cognitions play in behavior change; these metaphors include cognition as form of conditioning, information processing, and, currently, narrative construction. Discusses implications of using each of…

Differential Reinforcement to Reduce Disruptive Behaviors in a Blind Boy with a Learning Disability.
Peer reviewedHeitzman, A. J.; Alimena, M. J. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1991
Differential reinforcement of low rates of responding was used to reduce the disruptive behaviors of a blind 12-year-old boy with a learning disability. The subject earned reinforcers by not exceeding the established criterion of disruptive behaviors. An overall 88 percent reduction in target behaviors was observed across a 26-day period.…

Peer reviewedCharlop, Marjorie H.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1990
Three experiments assessed the efficacy of various reinforcers to increase correct task responding in a total of 10 autistic children, aged 6-9. Of the reinforcers used (stereotypy, delayed echolalia, perseverative behavior, and food), task performance was highest with opportunities to engage in aberrant behaviors, and lowest with edible…

Examined effects of self-management procedure on off-task behavior and academic work of eight male mildly handicapped students.

Peer reviewedArmstrong, Kevin J.; Drabman, Ronald S. – Child & Family Behavior Therapy, 1998
Provides details of a response cost procedure to eliminate a nine-year old's public masturbatory behavior. Treatment was based on a procedure used by Pianta and Hudson and it incorporated the mother's and daughter's interest in art activities. Treatment reduced undesired behavior while increasing desired academic and social behaviors. (RJM)

Peer reviewedLerman, Dorothea C.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
This study examined whether problem behaviors of three adults with profound mental retardation, which had been maintained by continuous reinforcement schedules, could be extinguished more rapidly than those maintained on an intermittent schedule of reinforcement. No significant differences in extinction rate were found between the two conditions.…

Peer reviewedPalardy, J. Michael – NASSP Bulletin, 1996
Behavior modification and assertive discipline approaches use rewards and negative consequences (extinction procedures) to deal with students' maladaptive behavior. Behavior modification has significant limitations, as it treats symptoms, not causes; yields only short-term benefits; has limited transfer value for other environments; and values…

Peer reviewedGable, Robert A.; Hendrickson, Jo M.; Van Acker, Richard – Education and Treatment of Children, 2001
This paper identifies six factors that affect fidelity of treatment in relationship to functional behavioral assessment (FBA) in the classroom setting including: (1) understanding the function of and the contextual variables that support target behavior, (2) adult knowledge of effective interventions, and (3) adult acceptance of the intervention.…

Peer reviewedPoole, Kathleen; Kumpfer, Karol; Pett, Marjorie – American Journal of Health Promotion, 2001
Examined the impact of participating in an incentive-based employee health promotion program on modifiable health risk factors over 4 years. Data from physiological and self-report measures indicated that modifiable health risks improved over time (smoking, physical activity, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and seat belt use). Cholesterol…

Demonstrates the merits of preceding experimental analyses with descriptive analyses of functional variables with preschool children who engage in problematic behavior. A two-phase descriptive analysis was conducted in daycare settings with three children. Results show that when the descriptive data were plotted via functional variables, specific…

Volkert, Valerie M.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Vorndran, Christina – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2005
The duration or magnitude of reinforcement has varied and often appears to have been selected arbitrarily in functional analysis research. Few studies have evaluated the effects of reinforcement magnitude on problem behavior, even though basic findings indicate that this parameter may affect response rates during functional analyses. In the…
