Pustejovsky, James E.; Runyon, Christopher – Behavioral Disorders, 2014
Direct observation recording procedures produce reductive summary measurements of an underlying stream of behavior. Previous methodological studies of these recording procedures have employed simulation methods for generating random behavior streams, many of which amount to special cases of a statistical model known as the alternating renewal…

Gage, Nicholas A.; Prykanowski, Debra; Hirn, Regina – Behavioral Disorders, 2014
Reliability of direct observation outcomes ensures the results are consistent, dependable, and trustworthy. Typically, reliability of direct observation measurement approaches is assessed using interobserver agreement (IOA) and the calculation of observer agreement (e.g., percentage of agreement). However, IOA does not address intraobserver…

Gerber, Michael M. – Behavioral Disorders, 2001
This article discusses how and why scientific work directed toward behavioral disorders is almost a perfect metaphor for the dilemma of the social sciences as a whole. It argues that, although the social character of behavioral disorders means that our knowledge is imperfect, we cannot escape responsibility for decisions made to relieve the…

Crockett, Jean B. – Behavioral Disorders, 2001
The concluding article to this special issue asks what science and its empirical rigors mean to those who work with children and youths with emotional or behavioral disorders. It considers how scientific evidence is being put to the test in the current context of schools and what failure to rely on empirical data might cost in the long run.…

Scruggs, Thomas E.; And Others – Behavioral Disorders, 1986
Sixteen studies were analyzed that employed single-subject designs focusing on conduct disorders in preschoolers. Results indicated that reinforcement produced most positive outcomes, followed by punishment, timeout, and differential attention. Subject characteristics such as sex, handicapping condition, and target behavior typically bore little…
