Rapp, John T.; Swanson, Greg; Sheridan, Stephanie M.; Enloe, Kimberly A.; Maltese, Diana; Sennott, Lisa A.; Shrader, Lauren; Carroll, Regina A.; Richling, Sarah M.; Long, Ethan S.; Lanovaz, Marc J. – Behavior Modification, 2013
The authors evaluated the effects of matched and unmatched stimuli on immediate and subsequent engagement in targeted vocal stereotypy (Experiment 1) and untargeted motor stereotypy (Experiment 2). Results of Experiment 1 showed that (a) matched stimulation decreased immediate engagement in vocal stereotypy for 8 of 11 participants and increased…

Falcomata, Terry S.; Muething, Colin S.; Gainey, Summer; Hoffman, Katherine; Fragale, Christina – Behavior Modification, 2013
We evaluated functional communication training (FCT) combined with a chained schedule of reinforcement procedure for the treatment of challenging behavior exhibited by two individuals diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and autism. Following functional analyses that suggested that challenging behavior served multiple functions for both participants,…

Taylor, Bridget A.; DeQuinzio, Jaime A. – Behavior Modification, 2012
A skill essential for successful inclusion in general education settings is the ability to learn by observing others. Research, however, has documented children with autism display significant deficits in the fundamental skills necessary for observational learning. This article outlines the skills essential for observational learning from an…

Identifying Stimuli that Alter Immediate and Subsequent Levels of Vocal Stereotypy: A Further Analysis of Functionally Matched Stimulation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lanovaz, Marc J.; Fletcher, Sarah E.; Rapp, John T. – Behavior Modification, 2009
We used a three-component multiple-schedule with a brief reversal design to evaluate the effects of structurally unmatched and matched stimuli on immediate and subsequent vocal stereotypy that was displayed by three children with autism spectrum disorders. For 2 of the 3 participants, access to matched stimuli, unmatched stimuli, and music…

Group-Based Preference Assessment for Children and Adolescents in a Residential Setting: Examining Developmental, Clinical, Gender, and Ethnic Differences
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Volz, Jennifer L. Resetar; Cook, Clayton R. – Behavior Modification, 2009
This study examines developmental, clinical, gender, and ethnic group differences in preference in residentially placed children and adolescents. In addition, this study considers whether residentially placed youth prefer stimuli currently being used as rewards as part of a campuswide token economy system and whether youth would identify preferred…
