Response Cost and Reinforcement Contingencies of Managing the Behavior of Distractible Children in Tutorial Settings.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sindelar, Paul T.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1982
Investigated were the effects of differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) and response cost (RC) on the attending behavior of a learning disabled (LD) 7-year-old and a behavior disordered 10-year-old. The differential effects of the DRO contingency in the two case studies were attributed to differences in the reinforcement schedules.…

Effectiveness of a Group-Managed Interdependent Contingency System.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Salend, Spencer J.; Lamb, Elizabeth Allen – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1986
An interdependent group-managed response-cost system mediated by free tokens was employed to decrease inappropriate verbalizations of two groups of elementary-level learning disabled children (N=9). Results indicated that this contingency system was a viable and effective method of decreasing inappropriate behavior. Peer pressure was credited for…

Effects of a Taped-Words Treatment Procedure on Learning Disabled Students' Sight-Word Oral Reading.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Freeman, Timothy J.; McLaughlin, T. F. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1984
The effects of modeling vocabulary words, using a tape recorder, on six high school learning disabled boys' sight-word reading were examined in a multiple-baseline design. Results indicated an increase in correct oral response rates of isolated word lists and a sharp decrease in each student's oral error rates. (Authors)

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Roberts, Michael; Smith, Deborah Deutsch – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1980
Eight learning disabled boys (10 to 12 years old) who were seriously deficient in both their oral reading and comprehension performances participated in the study which investigated, through an applied behavior analysis model, the interrelationships of three reading variables--correct oral reading rates, error oral reading rates, and percentage of…

Self-Monitoring of Attention as a Treatment for a Learning Disabled Boy's Off-Task Behavior.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hallahan, Daniel P.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1979
The S was taught to self-monitor his on- and off-task behavior by using an audiotape recorder to cue his self-recording. Using a combination of multiple baseline across responses and reversal designs, on-task behavior increased dramatically under treatment conditions for both handwriting and math. (Author/DLS)

The Efficacy of Function-Based Interventions for Students with Learning Disabilities Who Exhibit Escape-Maintained Problem Behaviors: Preliminary Results from a Single-Case Experiment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Burke, Mack D.; Hagan-Burke, Shanna; Sugai, George – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2003
A study explored the use of functional behavioral assessment (FBA) to develop an intervention plan for a third-grader with learning disabilities who exhibited high rates of problem behaviors during reading instruction. Results provide preliminary evidence to support the use of FBA to influence instructional planning. (Contains references.)…
