Lepper, Tracy L.; Petursdottir, Anna Ingeborg; Esch, Barbara E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
We evaluated the effects of operant discrimination training (ODT) on the vocalizations of 3 boys with autism. We compared ODT to a stimulus-stimulus pairing (SSP) condition and a control condition in an adapted alternating-treatments design. ODT increased the target vocalizations of all participants compared to the control condition, and its…

Leaf, Justin B.; Sheldon, Jan B.; Sherman, James A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
This study compared no-no prompting procedures to simultaneous prompting procedures for 3 children with autism. Using a parallel treatments design, researchers taught rote math skills, receptive labels, or answers to "wh-" questions with both prompting systems. Results indicated that no-no prompting was effective in teaching all skills. By…

Gutierrez, Anibal, Jr.; Hale, Melissa N.; O'Brien, Heather A.; Fischer, Aaron J.; Durocher, Jennifer S.; Alessandri, Michael – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2009
Discrete trial teaching procedures have been demonstrated to be effective in teaching a variety of important skills for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Although all discrete trial programs are based in the principles of applied behavior analysis, some variability exists between programs with regards to the precise teaching…

Perez-Gonzalez, Luis Antonio; Martinez, Hector – Psychological Record, 2007
Eighteen undergraduates participated in studies designed to examine the factors that produce transfer of contextual functions to novel stimuli in second-order conditional discriminations. In Study 1, participants selected comparison B1 given sample A1 and comparison B2 given sample A2 in a matching-to-sample procedure. Contextual stimuli X1 or X2…

Garotti, Marilice; De Rose, Julio C. – Psychological Record, 2007
Two experiments investigated baseline reviews as a relevant variable in reorganization of equivalence classes. After formation of three 4-member classes, participants learned reversals of baseline conditional discriminations and expanded the classes to 5 members each. In Experiment 1, 4 students responded on equivalence probes without baseline…

Olsho, Lynne Werner; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1987
Describes observer-based technique for assessing auditory capacities of infants from three to 12 months of age. This technique, referred to as the Observation-based Psychoacoustic Procedure (OPP), combines features of the Forced-choice Preferential Looking Technique and of the Visual Reinforcement Audiometry. Pure-tone detection and frequency…

Chavez-Brown, Mapy; Scott, Jack; Ross, Denise E. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2005
This study measured the differential effects of simplified and typical verbal antecedents on acquisition of picture discriminations for four preschool children with autism. During baseline probes, participants emitted no correct selection responses to pictures of common stimuli during either simplified or typical verbal antecedent conditions.…
