Winborn-Kemmerer, Lisa; Wacker, David P.; Harding, Jay; Boelter, Eric; Berg, Wendy; Lee, John – Education and Treatment of Children, 2010
We conducted a three-phase study to evaluate the use of mands and the occurrence of problem behavior for 2 children with developmental disabilities. During Phase 1, a functional analysis identified the variables maintaining problem behavior. During Phase 2, functional communication training was implemented within a concurrent schedules design. The…

Golonka, Zbigniew; Wacker, David; Berg, Wendy; Derby, K. Mark; Harding, Jay; Peck, Stephanie – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2000
A treatment was developed that analyzed response allocation across two break options for two females (ages 12 and 30) with behavior problems: break alone and break with access to preferred social activities. The break with preferred activities decreased aberrant behavior and increased appropriate behavior. (Contains two references.) (Author/CR)

An initial functional analysis conducted with 2 children who had developmental disabilities showed undifferentiated patterns of SIB. Analyses of behavior during free play suggested that the child's…

Berg, Wendy K.; Peck, Stephanie; Wacker, David P.; Harding, Jay; McComas, Jennifer; Richman, David; Brown, Kimberly – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2000
The effects of a presession exposure to attention on responding during subsequent assessment of attention as a reinforcer were evaluated across three behavioral assessments. In each experiment, the children responded differentially within the test condition according to the presence or absence of dense schedule of attention immediately prior to…
