Todd M. Owen; Nicole M. Rodriguez – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
Autoclitics are secondary verbal operants that are controlled by a feature of the conditions that occasion or evoke a primary verbal operant such as a tact or mand. Qualifying autoclitics extend, negate, or assert a speaker's primary verbal response and modify the intensity or direction of the listener's behavior. Howard and Rice (1988)…

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…

Patil, Priya; Sidener, Tina M.; Pane, Heather; Reeve, Sharon A.; Nirgudkar, Anjalee – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2021
For most children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), manding for information is an important skill that must be systematically taught. Although previous studies have evaluated interventions for teaching other mands for information, to date no studies have demonstrated effective procedures for teaching the mand "why?" The purpose of the…

Valentino, Amber L.; Fu, Sherrene Brice; Padover, Jessica L. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2019
Mands for information (MFIs) play an important role in language development and are important for successfully acquiring new information from one's environment. Yet many individuals with autism do not acquire mands for information without direct teaching. Research has demonstrated effective procedures for teaching all "wh" forms, except…

Schnell, Lauren K.; Vladescu, Jason C.; Kodak, Tiffany; Nottingham, Casey L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Generalization is a critical outcome for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who display new skills in a limited range of contexts. In the absence of proper planning, generalization may not be observed. The purpose of the current study was to directly compare serial to concurrent multiple exemplar training using total training time per…

Fragale, Christina L.; O'Reilly, Mark F.; Aguilar, Jeannie; Pierce, Nigel; Lang, Russell; Sigafoos, Jeff; Lancioni, Giulio – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
We investigated the influence of motivating operations on the generalization of newly taught mands across settings and communication partners for 3 children with autism. Two conditions were implemented prior to generalization probes. In the first condition, participants were given access to a preferred item until they rejected the item (i.e.,…

Kodak, Tiffany; Paden, Amber; Dickes, Nitasha – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2012
The current investigation evaluated the effects of extinction and prompts on training and generalization of peer-directed mands for preferred items using a picture exchange communication system with 2 children diagnosed with autism. Results showed that independent mands with a peer increased during treatment for both participants, generalized to a…
