Cynthia P. Livingston; Jessica P. Tran; Brinea M. Charles; Sara R. Jeglum; Mathew C. Luehring; Patricia F. Kurtz – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2025
Functional communication training is a widely used function-based intervention to replace inappropriate and severe challenging behavior (Tiger et al., 2008). When considering which FCR topography to include in functional communication training, clinicians may consider several factors such as response effort, social significance, and preference.…

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)…

Alnahari, Maram Mohammed – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often show language delays. Their limited communication skill may lead them to engage in the same disruptive behavior that previously got them what they wanted. Verbal behavior (VB), specifically mand training (MT), is one of the early language intervention strategies used to target language development…

Silbaugh, Bryant C.; Swinnea, Samantha; Falcomata, Terry S. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2020
More is known about how to reduce challenging behavior with functional communication training (FCT) than how to mitigate its resurgence during or following a course of treatment. Research suggests reinforcing mand variability during FCT may mitigate the resurgence of challenging behavior, but validated procedures for reinforcing mand variability…

Peterson, Stephanie M.; Frieder, Jessica E.; Quigley, Shawn P.; Kestner, Kathryn M.; Goyal, Manish; Smith, Shilo L.; Dayton, Elizabeth; Brower-Breitwieser, Carrie – Education and Treatment of Children, 2017
One measure of success for interventions treating problem behavior is the effects achieved in the face of a challenge (e.g., changes in reinforcement schedules, lapses in treatment integrity); one hopes to demonstrate persistence of appropriate alternatives and the absence of resurgence of target behaviors. The present study successfully treated…

Kelley, Michael E.; Shillingsburg, M. Alice; Castro, M. Jicel; Addison, Laura R.; LaRue, Robert H., Jr.; Martins, Megan P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2007
Although experimental analysis methodologies have been useful for identifying the function of a wide variety of target behaviors (e.g., Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, & Richman, 1982/1994), only recently have such procedures been applied to verbal operants (Lerman et al., 2005). In the current study, we conducted a systematic replication of the…
