Kastner, Kendall M.; Tiger, Jeffrey H.; Gifford, Margaret R. – Education and Treatment of Children, 2023
As a treatment for escape-maintained problem behavior, differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) is typically initiated by reinforcing compliance on a dense reinforcement schedule. This work schedule is then progressively thinned such that the individual is required to complete more work, up to some socially acceptable terminal…

Gevarter, Cindy; Horan, Keri – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2019
This study examined a behavioral intervention package to promote the use of target vocalizations alongside speech-generating device (SGD) mands. Six minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder participated, including three with no prior SGD experience. During baseline, SGD responses resulted in access to a preferred item and there was…

Radley, Keith C.; Moore, James W.; Dart, Evan H.; Ford, W. Blake; Helbig, Kate A. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Five participants with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) between the ages of 10 and 14 years attended a twice-weekly social skills group for 8 weeks. A multiple probe design across skills with concurrent replication across participants was utilized to assess the effects of social skills training using multiple exemplars and lag schedules on social…

Richling, Sarah M.; Rapp, John T.; Carroll, Regina A.; Smith, Jeanette N.; Nystedt, Aaron; Siewert, Brook – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
We evaluated the effects of noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) on compliance with wearing foot orthotics and a hearing aid with 2 individuals. Results showed that NCR increased the participants' compliance with wearing prescription prostheses to 100% after just a few 5-min sessions, and the behavior change was maintained during lengthier sessions.…

Taylor, David; Lincoln, Alan J.; Foster, Sharon L. – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2010
Objective: To bridge theory of response inhibition and learning in children with ADHD. Method: Thirty ADHD and 30 non-ADHD children (ages 9-12) were compared under concurrent variable interval (VI-15 sec., VI-30 sec. and VI- 45 sec.) reinforcement schedules that required the child to switch between the three schedules under conditions of…

Koegel, Robert L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1980
Investigated whether (1) a highly discriminable treatment procedure in one setting would produce a behavioral contrast effect in unmanipulated settings, and whether (2) such contrast-like trends could be eliminated if initially different reinforcement procedures in two settings were subsequently made similar.

Ryabik, James – 1970
Learning principles can be of great value in modifying the behavior of school children. Too often a teacher's own shortcomings and inadequacies hinder him from being truly effective with his students. In general our educational system is based on negative contingencies rather than positive ones. Ways in which a teacher can be more effective in…

O'Keefe, Edward J. – Child Welfare, 1978
Describes an approach to behavior modification employing gradual stages and beginning with the enhancement of positive behavior. Major emphasis is placed on accelerating prosocial behavior rather than decelerating antisocial behavior. (CM)

Jena, S. P. K. – International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 1995
A boy with severe mental retardation was unresponsive to his environment and spent 80% of his day body-rocking. Stereotyped body-rocking was greatly reduced via differential reinforcement of incompatible responding (DRI), physical restraint, and reprimand. (JDD)

O'Reilly, Mark; Lancioni, Giulio; Taylor, Ian – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1999
A study compared the effectiveness of two extinction interventions, extinction by omission and noncontingent delivery of reinforcement, to treat aggressive behavior with a 10-year-old boy. Analysis revealed that aggression was maintained by positive reinforcement in the form of attention. Noncontingent reinforcement of attention produced a more…
