Fuhrman, Ashley M.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Greer, Brian D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
Despite the effectiveness and widespread use of functional communication training (FCT), resurgence of destructive behavior can occur if the functional communication response (FCR) contacts a challenge, such as lapses in treatment integrity. We evaluated a method to mitigate resurgence by conducting FCT using a multiple schedule of reinforcement…

Ing, Anna D.; Roane, Henry S.; Veenstra, Rebecca A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Coprophagia, the ingestion of fecal matter, occurs among some individuals with developmental disabilities and is associated with a variety of health risks (e.g., diarrhea, intestinal parasites, blood-borne pathogens; Parry-Jones & Parry-Jones, 1992). Studies that have evaluated operant-based treatments of coprophagia have been limited by a lack of…

Jennett, Heather; Jann, Kathryn; Hagopian, Louis P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Competing stimulus assessments (CSA) have been used to identify stimuli that are associated with reduced levels of problem behavior, presumably as a function of reinforcer competition. Following a standard CSA in which stimuli simply were made available, 2 more CSAs were conducted with additional components designed to enhance reinforcer…

Kuhn, David E.; Chirighin, Anna E.; Zelenka, Katrina – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
A limitation associated with communication-based interventions for problem behavior is the potential for requesting reinforcement at high rates. Multiple-schedule arrangements have been demonstrated to be effective for controlling rates of responding (Hanley, Iwata, & Thompson, 2001). In the current study, we extended previous research by teaching…

Brundage, Shelley B. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2007
Stuttering characteristics, assessment, and treatment principles present challenges to assessment and treatment that can be addressed with virtual reality (VR) technology. This article describes how VR can be used to assist clinicians in meeting some of these challenges with adults who stutter. A review of current VR research at the Stuttering…

Berg, Wendy K.; Wacker, David P.; Harding, Jay W.; Ganzer, Jed; Barretto, Anjali – Journal of Early and Intensive Behavior Intervention, 2007
Functional analyses of problem behavior for 4 young boys with developmental delays showed that problem behaviors were maintained by both negative and positive reinforcement. Functional communication training was conducted with one set of training stimuli in which the child's mother presented a work task in the family living room. Pretreatment…
