The purpose of this study was to compare a method of assessing preference within a large group format to individual preference assessments. Individual preference assessments were conducted by presenting an array of four edible stimuli to a participant and allowing the participant to select a preferred stimulus, with stimuli removed from the array based on selection criteria. Group preference asses...... hiện toàn bộ

The present study examined response effort during resurgence tests. Six children were trained to place balls in baskets that were placed either close (.0254 m) or far away (1.829 m or .9 m). Resurgence was assessed using a linear strip design, where responses were reinforced on a variable-interval 10-s schedule or put on extinction. During resurgence tests, minimal to low rates of resurgence assoc...... hiện toàn bộ

We evaluated a brief, embedded teaching strategy for increasing the independence of adults with autism in performing community activities. Initially, community situations were observed to identify an activity that a support staff was performing for an individual. The staff person was then trained to implement SWAT Support (say, wait and watch, act out, touch to guide) involving least-to-most promp...... hiện toàn bộ
An Evaluation of Differential Observing Responses During Receptive Label TrainingBehavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 10 - Trang 290-295 - 2017
Joseph Vedora, Tiffany Barry, John C. Ward-Horner
The current study compared the use of a differential observing response (DOR) during receptive label training to a condition without the DOR. We extended the research on DORs used during receptive label training by using them with progressive prompt delay procedures and assessing responding following mastery without the DOR. Results indicated that both participants performed better in the DOR cond...... hiện toàn bộ
Restructuring Law Enforcement Agencies to Support Prosocial Values: A Behavior-Scientific Model for Addressing Police BrutalityBehavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 15 - Trang 1184-1192 - 2021
Elizabeth L. Ghezzi, Janie A. Funk, Ramona A. Houmanfar
Policing in the United States is irrefutably a component of systemic racism. The history of police brutality against the Black community can be found in our amendments, laws, and cultural practices—it is an infrastructure of oppression. Though police brutality is not a new development, it has reached a fever pitch with the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Recent calls to defund the polic...... hiện toàn bộ
Scaling Up Behavioral Skills Training: Effectiveness of Large-Scale and Multiskill TrainingsBehavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 14 - Trang 36-50 - 2020
Andrea B. Courtemanche, Laura B. Turner, John D. Molteni, Nicole C. Groskreutz
We used behavioral skills training (BST) to teach multiple skills to 2 cohorts of 18 participants. BST consisted of the standard 4 components: (a) didactic instruction, (b) modeling, (c) role-play, and (d) feedback, modified to be delivered in a large-group format. All components were provided by 1 trainer, simultaneously to all participants, with peers delivering feedback during role-plays. Acros...... hiện toàn bộ
Matching Vocational Aptitude and Employment Choice for Adolescents and Adults with ASDBehavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 13 - Trang 618-630 - 2019

As individuals age out of the public school system, they encounter what is colloquially referred to as the “services cliff.” Although supports and services are readily available during school-age years, the lack of available resources for adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is striking. Although schools are charged with preparing students for life after graduation, individuals with ASD are ...... hiện toàn bộ
