Direct linkLim, Alliyza; Young, Robyn L.; Brewer, Neil – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We hypothesized that autistic adults may be erroneously judged as deceptive or lacking credibility due to demonstrating unexpected and atypical behaviors. Thirty autistic and 29 neurotypical individuals participated in video-recorded interviews, and we measured their demonstration of gaze aversion, repetitive body movements, literal interpretation…

Mohammadzaheri, Fereshteh; Koegel, Lynn Kern; Bakhshi, Enayatollah; Khosrowabadi, Reza; Soleymani, Zahra – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study examined the effect of Pivotal response treatment (PRT) to improve verbal initiations in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, age 6-12 years old, using a Randomized Clinical Trial design. Intervention was conducted three times a week for 2 months, for a total of 24 one-hour sessions. The PRT intervention taught a variety of questions…

Rodriguez, Nicole M.; Aragon, Michael A.; McKeown, Ciobha A.; Glodowski, Kathryn R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Intraverbal tacts are an example of multiply controlled verbal behavior. More specifically, they are verbal responses under control of both a nonverbal (visual) stimulus (e.g., a green ball) and a verbal (auditory) stimulus (e.g., "What color?" vs. "What shape?"). Studies have shown that verbal behavior training can be arranged…

Mann, Charlotte C.; Karsten, Amanda M. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2021
Differences in prosody behavior between individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their typically developing peers have been considered a central feature of ASD since the earliest clinical descriptions of the disorder (e.g., Kanner, 1943/1973). Prosody includes pitch and volume among other dimensions of vocal-verbal behavior that…

Infant vocalizations are early-emerging communicative markers shown to be atypical in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but few longitudinal, prospective studies exist. In this study, 23,850 infant vocalizations from infants at low (LR)- and high (HR)-risk for ASD (HR-ASD = 23, female = 3; HR-Neg = 35, female = 13; LR = 32, female = 10; 80% White;…

Cengher, Mirela; Fienup, Daniel M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
This study examined the effects of presession attention on the acquisition of tacts (Experiment 1) and intraverbals (Experiment 2) in children diagnosed with autism. Each participant experienced 3 conditions. In the first 2 conditions, participants experienced a 15-min interval of either presession attention (PA) or no presession attention (NPA)…

Forbes, Heather J.; Travers, Jason C.; Vickers Johnson, Jenee – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) is a popular intervention for improving targeted and untargeted communication skills for learners with autism. We systematically reviewed communication outcomes reported in experimental research to determine linguistic forms and verbal behavior functions associated with PRT. We found most researchers aggregated…

Sulek, Rhylee; Smith, Jodie; Bent, Catherine Anne; Hudry, Kristelle; Trembath, David; Vivanti, Giacomo; Dissanayake, Cheryl – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: There is growing understanding of the potential benefits of a multi-method approach to accurately capture language skills of children on the autism spectrum. Tools such as Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) provide an efficient means of capturing and analysing early child vocalizations (CVs) and the language learning environment.…

Vener, Susan M.; Gillis, Alison M.; Poulson, Claire L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Catatonia is a syndrome characterized as a cluster of difficulties in verbal and motor behavior that interferes with everyday function. This study analyzed the effects of a prompt-fading behavioral treatment package on the verbal behavior of an adolescent girl with autism and catatonia. Data were collected on three verbal responses previously…

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…

Looking to the mouth of a talker early in life predicts expressive communication. We hypothesized that looking at a talker's mouth may signal that infants are ready for increased supported joint engagement and that it subsequently facilitates prelinguistic vocal development and translates to broader gains in expressive communication. We tested…

Frampton, Sarah E.; Shillingsburg, M. Alice – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Shillingsburg, Frampton, Cleveland, and Cariveau (2018) taught listener and tact by feature, name-feature intraverbal, and feature-name intraverbal responses across sets and reported emergence of responses that were not directly trained for 6 individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study was a systematic replication…

McDaniel, Jena; Yoder, Paul; Estes, Annette; Rogers, Sally J. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
The Early Communication Indicator (ECI) was designed to measure expressive communication progress in young children. We evaluated using the 6-min ECI procedure for a new purpose--a sampling context for stable measures of vocal development of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We evaluated how many ECI sessions were required to…

Almås, Inger Karin; Smith, Dean P.; Eldevik, Sigmund; Eikeseth, Svein – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2022
We evaluated whether intraverbal and reverse intraverbal behavior emerged following listener training in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Six participants were each taught three sets of three "when?" questions in listener training. A multiple baseline design across behaviors (stimulus sets) was used to assess the effects of…

Anthony, Nicole; Bobzien, Jonna – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This research used an alternating treatment design to investigate the relative effectiveness of participant specific social stories delivered using two distinct formats (i.e., technology-based, paper/book), on increasing the frequency of initiations and responses of two adolescents with ASD. Visual analysis of baseline, intervention, maintenance,…
