Many special education teacher preparation programs overlook behavior-based instruction, leaving teachers ill-prepared for students with challenging behaviors. This qualitative study interviewed special education teachers to explore their experiences acquiring behavioral knowledge and managing challenging behaviors. Results highlighted the…

Delayed consequences have important academic implications for younger children. Conceptualized within behavior analysis as delay discounting, researchers have examined verbal behavior interventions to improve tolerance to delayed outcomes. In this preliminary study, the correlation between verbal repertoires and tolerance to delayed consequences…

"Student Success" helps students develop positive behaviors that will lead to success in college and beyond. The book provides a practical framework, how-to exercises, a behavioral observation measurement system, behavioral profiles, self-tests, and a behavioral change methodology for individuals, families, and schools seeking to…

The present study aims to examine the issue of peer aggression and victimisation in early childhood, with a focus on the associated social behaviour strategies (aggressiveness, prosociality, dominance and social insecurity). A sample of 227 children (58.1% girls, n = 132) between the ages of 4 and 7 years (M = 5.61; SD = 1. 03) participated in the…

The present study proposed and examined the notion that daily creativity planning could promote creative behavior and contribute to the cultivation of creativity. A total…

The basis for mastering neurophysiology is understanding ion movement across cell membranes. The Electrochemical Gradients Assessment Device (EGAD) is a 17-item test assessing students' understanding of fundamental concepts of neurophysiology, e.g., electrochemical gradients and resistance, synaptic transmission, and stimulus strength. We…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of two virtual prerecorded trainings. Training 1 is a three-hour training titled "Basics of Classroom Behavior Management." Training 2 is a 10-hour training titled "Behavior Reduction." Evidence of implementation was confirmed by direct observations of teacher and student…
