Koegel, Robert L.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
Three studies compared the amount of social avoidance behavior by mentally retarded autistic children (N=10 and ages 4-13 years) during either appropriate child-preferred activities or adult determined activities. Results revealed a negative correlation between child-preferred behaviors and social avoidance behaviors. (Author/DB)

Rose, Terry L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1978

Dougherty, Susan B.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1985
The negative interactions of a nine-year-old mildly retarded child were reduced in three daily recess periods, with the use of a point system. Results show that a point system, originally designed for adult monitoring, can be adapted without loss of program effectiveness for peer monitoring and that peer monitors may benefit significantly.…

Burgio, Louis D.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1980
Four experimental Ss (9 to 14 years) were taught through self-instruction to focus attention and cope with math and printing tasks, then were systematically and sequentially exposed to photo slides of distracting situations, to audio distractors, and to in vivo distractors. Results suggested that the training package produced changes in self…

Repp, Alan C.; Karsh, Kathryn G. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
A functional assessment of tantrum behaviors of two students (ages seven and nine) with severe mental retardation found that the function of the behavior was to gain attention rather than to avoid or escape demands. Intervention, based on the positive reinforcement hypothesis, resulted in a substantial reduction of tantrums for both subjects.…

Mace, Amy Boyajian; Shapiro, Edward S.; Mace, F. Charles – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1998
Results of a functional analysis of self-injurious behavior (SIB) in a 7-year-old child with autism showed that her SIB was maintained by access to preferred object and escape or avoidance of task demands. Warning stimuli in combination with extinction and noncontingent reinforcement reduced SIB to acceptable levels. (Author/CR)

Northup, John; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1997
To assess the drug-behavior interaction effects with an 8-year-old boy with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, classroom antecedent and consequent stimuli were alternated within a school day, while drug conditions were alternated across days. Results indicate that peer attention maintained disruptive behavior when methylphenidate was…

Gulley, Veronica; Northup, John – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1997
Individualized assessments of the effects of three dosages of methylphenidate were conducted for two students (ages 10-11) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder within each child's classroom using behavioral, academic, and social measures. At least one or more dosages were associated with improvement for both children in each area.…

Durand, V. Mark; Carr, Edward G. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
Results of a series of three experiments with four developmentally disabled males (ages 7-13) who exhibited hand flapping and body rocking indicated that some forms of repetitive stereotyped behaviors may serve social functions (e.g., escape from aversive situations), and that teaching a functionally equivalent communicative alternative can be an…

Repp, Alan C.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1988
Method of treatment of self-injurious behaviors for three severely retarded students (ages six-seven) was selected by matching one of three hypotheses (self-stimulation, positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement) to a judgment concerning cause. Results supported the argument that treatment programs should be based on a functional analysis of…
