Mueller, Michael M.; Nkosi, Ajamu; Hine, Jeffrey F. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Several review and epidemiological studies have been conducted over recent years to inform behavior analysts of functional analysis outcomes. None to date have closely examined demographic and clinical data for functional analyses conducted exclusively in public school settings. The current paper presents a data-based summary of 90 functional…

Wahler, Robert G.; Dumas, Jean E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1986
Observations of three parent-child dyads seeking help for severe interactional problems provided tentative support for the predictability hypothesis, which suggests that social interactions are most likely to function as aversive stimuli when delivered in unpredictable fashion by either party and that responses instrumental in reducing…

Carr, Edward G.; Durand, V. Mark – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1985
Results of two experiments on choosing replacement behaviors for behavior problems in developmentally disabled students were consistent with the hypothesis that some behavior problems may be viewed as nonverbal communication and that behavior problems and verbal communicative acts may be equivalent in function. Therefore, strengthening the latter…

Mayer, G. Roy – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1995
Multiple correlates and determinants of antisocial behavior within the home, community, and school are reviewed. A variety of contextual factors and setting events within the schools are found to be major contributors to antisocial behavior, and some of these factors are identified within the home. Increased attention to these setting events is…

Koegel, Robert L.; Koegel, Lynn Kern – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1990
The study assessed whether 4 students (ages 9-13) with severe autistic disabilities could learn to use a self-management treatment package to reduce stereotypic behavior. Use of the procedures greatly reduced levels of stereotypic behavior. Improvement also occurred for extended periods of time in new settings without the presence of a treatment…

Mace, F. Charles; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1986
The study evaluated a commonly used component of brief time-out, in which release from time-out is delayed contingent on the occurrence of the disruption. Data were collected for one normal and two mentally retarded children on time-out producing behaviors and delay-producing behaviors during time-out. (Author/CL)

Lindsley, Ogden R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1991
This article summarizes procedures used in translating technical jargon in the field of behavior therapy to plain English. It lists phrases translated from applied behavior analysis to public education, presents acronyms useful in remembering sequences of steps, and describes two tests to help in decision making in behavior analysis applications.…

Foster-Johnson, Lynn; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
Curricular activity preference was determined for 3 students (ages 9-15) with moderate intellectual disabilities. Subsequent evaluation of the influence of activity preference on student behavior revealed that preferred activities were associated with reduced levels of problem behavior and increased levels of desirable behaviors.

Kennedy, Craig H.; Meyer, Kim A.; Knowles, Tanya; Shukla, Smita – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2000
Two studies involving five students (ages 9-17) with autism found that stereotypy was multiply determined or occurred across all assessment conditions (attention, demand, no-attention, and recreation conditions) and that the presumed association between response topography and behavioral function may be less important than previously realized.…

Biglan, Anthony – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1995
This paper calls for research on reducing the incidence and prevalence of antisocial behavior, focusing on testing such interventions as advocacy and community organizing within small communities. Availability of validated school and clinical behavior interventions can assist communities in increasing forms of youth supervision and social and…

Repp, Alan – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
This article reviews the development of functional analysis in understanding behavior problems like self-injury and aggression and, more recently, school-based problems. Seen as particularly promising is current work on the analysis of setting events and analysis of dependent variables by considering the effects of intervention on response…

Baer, Donald M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1992
This commentary on a paper (EC 603 646) describing a natural reinforcement project of Communidad Los Horcones (Mexico) notes that the original paper lacks auxiliary procedures for students whose behaviors are not controlled by described procedures, offers no guidance on curriculum structure, and fails to recognize potential opposition to such…

Friman, Patrick C.; Poling, Alan – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1995
This paper summarizes basic research on response effort in diverse applied areas including deceleration of aberrant behavior, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, oral habits, littering, and problem solving. The paper concludes that response effort as an independent variable has potent effects, and research exploring the applied benefits of…

Serna, Loretta A.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1991
A communication program was implemented with the families of three adolescents with behavior problems. Skill teaching resulted in parent-adolescent dyads learning to use the skills in the teaching setting, but competent use of the skills in the home was not observed until an in-home family conference phase was implemented.
