Iannaccone, Julia A.; Jessel, Joshua – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Procedural arrangements of differential reinforcement of alternative behavior without extinction often involve presenting the same reinforcers for problem behavior and appropriate behavior, which is typically ineffective at reducing problem behavior and increasing an alternative response. However, manipulating reinforcement dimensions such that…

Four university students delivered short speeches during baseline and assessment sessions. Awareness training resulted in…

Mendres, Amber E.; Borrero, John C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
When responses function to produce the same reinforcer, a response class exists. Researchers have examined response classes in applied settings; however, the challenges associated with conducting applied research on response class development have recently necessitated the development of an analogue response class model. To date, little research…

O'Reilly, Mark; Lang, Russell; Davis, Tonya; Rispoli, Mandy; Machalicek, Wendy; Sigafoos, Jeff; Lancioni, Giulio; Didden, Robert – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
We examined the effects of three different presession conditions on tangibly maintained problem behavior for 2 students with autism, using individual-participant multielement designs. First, an analogue functional analysis demonstrated that problem behavior was maintained by access to tangible items. Next, topographies of item rejection were…

Watson, T. Steuart – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
This study assessed the effectiveness of posting signs for reducing graffiti in three men's restrooms on a college campus. Immediately following the intervention, no marks were made, and results were maintained at three-month follow-up. A possible explanation for the results is that the signs specified an altruistic contingency. (Author/DB)
