We evaluated the effects of a discrimination training procedure for establishing praise as a reinforcer for three children with autism spectrum disorder. After establishing two praise words as discriminative stimuli and two nonsense words as S-deltas, we evaluated whether the stimuli then functioned as reinforcers by presenting each stimulus as a…

Randall, Kayla R.; Greer, Brian D.; Smith, Sean W.; Kimball, Ryan T. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
When a functional communication response (FCR) can be reliably occasioned, destructive behavior tends to be lower. However, the form of FCR may affect the durability of functional communication training, as missing FCR materials may promote resurgence. Experiment 1 demonstrated that resurgence of target responding was lower when a vocal FCR…

Zinn, Tracy E.; Newland, M. Christopher; Ritchie, Katie E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2015
Because it employs an emergent-learning framework, equivalence-based instruction (EBI) is said to be highly efficient, but its presumed benefits must be compared quantitatively with alternative techniques. In a randomized controlled trial, 61 college students attempted to learn 32 pairs of proprietary and generic drug names using computer-based…

Falcomata, Terry S.; Wacker, David P.; Ringdahl, Joel E.; Vinquist, Kelly; Dutt, Anuradha – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the generalization of mands during functional communication training (FCT) and sign language training across functional contexts (i.e., positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement). A secondary purpose was to evaluate a training procedure based on stimulus control to teach manual signs. During…

The purpose of the current study was to explore the use of overt and covert self-rules in the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of a chained task by adults with mild developmental disabilities. This research differed from previous research in that the experimenter did not deliver reinforcement for correct responses during training, and…

Peer reviewedCuvo, Anthony J.; Riva, Maria T. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1980
Results of a study involving 10 mentally retarded and 10 nonretarded (mean age 16 and 4 years, respectively) indicated high levels of acquisition and maintenance for both groups. No difference occurred in magnitude of acquisition, but the mentally retarded Ss took approximately three times as many trials to complete training. (Author/CL)
