Campanaro, Alexandra M.; Vladescu, Jason C.; DeBar, Ruth M.; Deshais, Meghan A.; Manente, Christopher J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Behavioral skills training (BST) is considered one of the most effective staff training techniques to implement a wide variety of behavioral technologies; however, research has found a lack of implementation of BST across human service settings due to a shortage of organizational time and resources. The purpose of the present study was first to…

Byron Wine; Eli T. Newcomb – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
Although decades of behavior-analytic studies have focused on decreasing the aggressive behavior of clients, relatively little research has been conducted on preventing injuries for the staff members who implement treatment plans. In this study, three direct-care staff members working with clients presenting with aggressive behavior were taught…

Harper, Jill M.; Bird, Frank; Wizboski, Maria; Steinhauser, Haley; Luiselli, James K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Behavior analysts frequently collaborate with interdisciplinary colleagues to share information and make decisions about client services. This study evaluated the effects of behavioral skills training on preparation for and presentation during interdisciplinary review team meetings by clinicians (n = 4) and nurses (n = 4) at a residential school…

Erath, Tyler G.; DiGennaro Reed, Florence D.; Blackman, Abigail L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
The current study evaluated the efficacy of a video-based training to teach 4 staff working in a human service setting to use behavioral skills training (BST) to teach job-related skills to others. Low levels of BST integrity were observed during baseline. Immediately after viewing a 13-min training video, 2 participants implemented BST at mastery…

Weldy, Christina R.; Rapp, John T.; Capocasa, Kelli – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
We trained 9 behavioral staff members to conduct 2 brief preference assessments using 30-min video presentations that contained instructions and modeling. After training, we evaluated each staff member's implementation of the assessments in situ. Results indicated that 1 or 2 training sessions for each method were sufficient for teaching each…

Pollard, Joy S.; Higbee, Thomas S.; Akers, Jessica S.; Brodhead, Matthew T. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
Discrete-trial instruction (DTI) is a teaching strategy that is often incorporated into early intensive behavioral interventions for children with autism. Researchers have investigated time- and cost-effective methods to train staff to implement DTI, including self-instruction manuals, video modeling, and interactive computer training (ICT). ICT…

Travis, Robert; Sturmey, Peter – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
Although delusional statements in people with intellectual disabilities and traumatic brain injury can be treated using behavioral interventions, none have demonstrated long-term treatment effects. In the current study, a functional analysis demonstrated that delusional statements were maintained by attention. Differential reinforcement of…

Roscoe, Eileen M.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Glover, Ashley C.; Volkert, Valerie M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2006
Performance feedback has facilitated the acquisition and maintenance of a wide range of behaviors (e.g., health-care routines, seat-belt use). Most researchers have attributed the effectiveness of performance feedback to (a) its discriminative functions, (b) its reinforcing functions, or (c) the combination of the two. In this study, we attempted…

Petscher, Erin Seligson; Bailey, Jon S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2006
This study extended the limited research on the utility of tactile prompts and examined the effects of a treatment package on implementation of a token economy by instructional assistants in a classroom for students with disabilities. During baseline, we measured how accurately the assistants implemented a classroom token economy based on the…
