Javid A. Rahaman; Kevin C. Luczynski – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
Behavioral readiness can take the form of communication and self-control skills during challenging situations that are correlated with the development of problem behavior. A skill-based approach can teach behavioral readiness using procedures that involve synthesized reinforcement, probabilistic reinforcement, and contingency-based delays;…

Cohrs, Corey M.; Shriver, Mark D.; Burke, Raymond V.; Allen, Keith D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
We evaluated the impact of antecedent specificity in goal statements on adherence to positive behavior-management strategies. Teaching staff were recruited from 2 different school settings where there were routine expectations to use behavior-specific praise in the classroom, but adherence was poor. In a concurrent multiple baseline design, the…

Newquist, Matthew H.; Dozier, Claudia L.; Neidert, Pamela L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Some children make impulsive choices (i.e., choose a small but immediate reinforcer over a large but delayed reinforcer). Previous research has shown that delay fading, providing an alternative activity during the delay, teaching participants to repeat a rule during the delay, combining delay fading with an alternative activity, and combining…

Perrin, Christopher J.; Neef, Nancy A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
The purpose of this study was to examine variables that affect self-control in the context of academic task completion by elementary school children with autism. In the baseline assessment of Study 1, mathematics problem completion was shown to be an aversive event, and sensitivity to task magnitude, task difficulty, and delay to task completion…

Reed, Derek D.; Martens, Brian K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Typical assessments of temporal discounting involve presenting choices between hypothetical monetary outcomes. Participants choose between smaller immediate rewards and larger delayed rewards to determine how the passage of time affects the subjective value of reinforcement. Few studies, however, have compared such discounting to actual…

Delano, Monica E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2007
The effects of a multicomponent intervention involving self-regulated strategy development delivered via video self-modeling on the written language performance of 3 students with Asperger syndrome were examined. During intervention sessions, each student watched a video of himself performing strategies for increasing the number of words written…

Stevenson, Howard C.; Fantuzzo, John W. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1984
The assessment of generalization has become a priority of applied behavior analysis. The study provided a thorough assessement of the generality of a comprehensive self-control intervention designed to increase the math performance of an underachieving student in a regular elementary school classroom.

Rapp, John T.; Miltenberger, Raymond G.; Long, Ethan S.; Elliott, Amy J.; Lumley, Vicki A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1998
Three developmentally normal adolescents with chronic hair pulling were treated with a simplified habit-reversal procedure consisting of awareness training, competing response training, and parental social support. Treatment resulted in immediate reduction to near-zero levels of hair pulling with one to three booster sessions. Results were…

Fisher, Wayne W.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1997
A study of three individuals with self-injurious behavior (SIB) evaluated a device designed for restraint fading with individuals who display hand-to-head SIB. Results demonstrated that stimulus control of SIB occurred in all individuals subsequent to restraint fading. The study also examined the effects of the rigid arm sleeves and restraint…

O'Brien, Thomas P.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1983
A self-evaluation program was implemented at home with a disruptive boy (five years, 11 months old). The self-evaluation procedures typically resulted in increased compliant behavior and decreased inappropriate verbal behavior, although the effects generally weakened with time. (Author/SEW)

Lalli, Joseph S.; Casey, Sean D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
A six-year old with developmental delays who exhibited aggression when asked to pick up his toys was studied to determine the effects of interventions. Treatment included praise, a break, and access to the toys contingent on compliance. Results showed aggression decreased only with social interaction during the break. (Author/CR)

Stahmer, Aubyn C.; Schreibman, Laura – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1992
This study used a self-management treatment package to teach three children with autism to play appropriately in the absence of a treatment provider. Results indicated appropriate play skills were learned and generalized to new settings, and two of the children maintained gains at one-month followup. In addition, self-stimulatory behaviors…
