Fritz, Jennifer N.; Dupuis, Danielle L.; Wu, Wai-Ling; Neal, Ashley E.; Rettig, Lisa A.; Lastrapes, Renée E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
An evaluation of increased response effort to dispose of items was conducted to improve recycling at a university. Signs prompting individuals to recycle and notifying them of the location of trash and recycling receptacles were posted in each phase. During the intervention, trashcans were removed from the classrooms, and one large trashcan was…

Mendres, Amber E.; Borrero, John C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
When responses function to produce the same reinforcer, a response class exists. Researchers have examined response classes in applied settings; however, the challenges associated with conducting applied research on response class development have recently necessitated the development of an analogue response class model. To date, little research…
