Ciobha A. McKeown; Carley E. Smith; Timothy R. Vollmer; Lindsay A. Lloveras; Kerri P. Peters – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2024
Teaching an infant manual signs is beneficial as it promotes early communication, improves socialization, and can functionally replace behaviors such as crying and whining. Improving early communication also may reduce the probability of an infant engaging in dangerous behavior, like unsafe climbing. The purpose of this study was to extend…

Bergmann, Samantha; Van Den Elzen, Gabriella; Kodak, Tiffany; Niland, Haven; Dawson, Desiree – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2022
Recombinative generalization is the production of responses in the presence of novel combinations of known components. For example, after learning "red triangle" and "blue square," recombinative generalization is observed when a child can tact "red square" and "blue triangle." Recombinative generalization…

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…

Belisle, Jordan; Paliliunas, Dana; Lauer, Taylor; Giamanco, Annalise; Lee, Breanna; Sickman, Elana – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2020
Theoretical extensions of Skinner's verbal behavior that emphasize derived relational responding (stimulus equivalence, relational frame theory, and bidirectional naming) can improve the complexity and scope of applied behavior-analytic training models with children. We evaluated the prevalence and content of empirical research on derived…

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…

Miguel, Caio F. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2017
The mand is a type of verbal operant whose response form is under control of a motivating operation (MO). It is the first verbal operant to be acquired, directly benefits the speaker, leads to the development of other behaviors, and may serve to replace problem behavior. Even though the topography of the mand is under the functional control of an…

Sundberg, Mark L. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2013
Skinner discussed the topic of motivation in every chapter of the book "Verbal Behavior" (1957), usually with his preferred terminology of ''deprivation, satiation, and aversive stimulation.'' In the current paper, direct quotations are used to systematically take the reader through 30 separate points made by Skinner…

Stewart, Ian; McElwee, John; Ming, Siri – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2013
Language generativity can be described as the ability to produce sentences never before said, and to understand sentences never before heard. One process often cited as underlying language generativity is response generalization. However, though the latter seems to promise a technical understanding of the former at a process level, an…

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…

Ingvarsson, Einar T.; Le, Duy D. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2011
We compared prompting tactics to establish intraverbal responding (question answering) in four boys with autism. Based on the results of intraverbal, textual, echoic, and tact pretests, we compared vocal and picture prompts with three participants, and textual, vocal, and picture prompts with one participant. We also evaluated repeated acquisition…

Ribeiro, Daniela M.; Elias, Nassim C.; Goyos, Celso; Miguel, Caio F. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2010
The purpose of the current study was to assess whether individuals with intellectual disabilities would emit untrained speaker responses (i.e., signed tacts and mands) after being taught listener behaviors. Listener relations were trained via an automated matching-to-sample (MTS) procedure. Following mastery, the emergence of signed tacts,…

Tarbox, Jonathan; Zuckerman, Carrie K.; Bishop, Michele R.; Olive, Melissa L.; O'Hora, Denis P. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2011
Rule-governed behavior is generally considered an integral component of complex verbal repertoires but has rarely been the subject of empirical research. In particular, little or no previous research has attempted to establish rule-governed behavior in individuals who do not already display the repertoire. This study consists of two experiments…

Perez, William Ferreira; de Rose, Julio C. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2010
The present study aimed to extend the findings of recombinative generalization research in alphabetical reading and spelling to the context of musical reading. One participant was taught to respond discriminatively to six two-note sequences, choosing the corresponding notation on the staff in the presence of each sequence. When novel three- and…

Ziomek, M. M.; Rehfeldt, R. A. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2008
This study compared the total amount of training time and total number of trial blocks for individuals with severe developmental disabilities to acquire mands under control of unconditioned establishing operations and mands under control of transitive conditioned establishing operations for manual sign and for the Picture Exchange Communication…

Sidener, David W.; Michael, Jack – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2006
The ability of preschool age children to perform generalized relational matching to sample tasks with and without an overt mediating stimulus was examined. This experiment was a direct replication of a study by Lowenkron (1984) and examined a behavioral model relevant to complex human behavior that he later came to call "joint control." Children…
