Child abduction is a serious problem; therefore, it is essential that researchers evaluate the efficacy of commercially available abduction-prevention programs. A multiple baseline design across participants (ages 6 to 8 years) was used to evaluate the effects of a training program, The Safe Side. Experimenters assessed safety responses in situ in…

Foxx, R. M.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1986
Interactional behavior of two groups (N=3 females per group) of elderly mentally retarded group home residents was measured in two generalization situations before, during, and after one group received social skills training. Among conclusions were that generalization to natural interactional situations may be delayed following training.…

Barton, Edward J.; Ascione, Frank R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1979
It was found, among other things, that physical sharing which was durable and generalizable resulted only when Ss were taught to share verbally, and that increases in physical sharing produced by training Ss to share only physically were not durable and did not generalize. (Author/DLS)

Singh, Nirbhay N.; Millichamp, C. Jane – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
Verbal prompting and graduated physical guidance procedures were found to substantially increase independent and social play in two interrelated experiments with eight profoundly mentally retarded adults. Independent and social play remained in the subjects' repertoire for 12 months following termination of programmed maintenance. (Author/JW)

Fowler, Susan A.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1986
Rates of negative interactions immediately decreased during recess periods in which three male students (age 7) monitored their first-grade classmates' play behavior by awarding or withdrawing points. These and related results suggest that appointment to the role of peer monitor may itself function as an intervention. (Author/JW)
