Demand for behavior-analytic services has greatly increased in recent years, resulting in the development of many new graduate training programs. The purpose of the present study was to identify frequently assigned readings from the course syllabi of behavior-analytic training programs with the highest pass rates on the Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) examination. The readings are catego...... hiện toàn bộ
Using Gamification to Promote Accurate Data Entry of Practicum Experience Hours in Graduate StudentsBehavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 14 - Trang 1-10 - 2020
Diana Parry-Cruwys, Jacquelyn MacDonald
The current study evaluated the effects of a gamified package intervention on the accurate data entry of practicum experience hours by 15 behavior analysis graduate students at a small private university. The gamified intervention (Practicum Slayer) included feedback, added reinforcement in the form of points to access putative primary reinforcement, badges, and thematic enhancement. We compared t...... hiện toàn bộ
A Scientist-Practitioner’s Guide to Tracking Personal Dissemination Impact: Using the Altmetric Attention Score and BookmarkletBehavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 15 - Trang 1006-1014 - 2022
Thomas S. Critchfield, Dennis R. Dixon
A free tool for measuring dissemination impact (as opposed to scholarly citation impact) is reviewed. The tool is easy to use and provides much information of interest to the scientist-practitioner who is interested in publishing articles that promote the dissemination of applied behavior analysis. It may also help applied behavior analysts meet the ethics code requirement to strive for accurate r...... hiện toàn bộ
Procedures and Accuracy of Discontinuous Measurement of Problem Behavior in Common Practice of Applied Behavior AnalysisBehavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 13 - Trang 411-420 - 2019
Linda A. LeBlanc, Coby Lund, Chris Kooken, Janet B. Lund, Wayne W. Fisher
Discontinuous measurement involves dividing an observation into intervals and recording whether a behavior occurred during some or all of each interval (i.e., interval recording) or at the exact time of observation (i.e., momentary time sampling; MTS). Collecting discontinuous data is often easier for observers than collecting continuous data, but it also produces more measurement error. Smaller i...... hiện toàn bộ
The Effects of a Self-Instruction Package and Group Training on Trial-Based Functional Analysis AdministrationBehavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 13 - Trang 63-80 - 2019
Kristin R. Griffith, Jenifer N. Price, Becky Penrod
This study examined the effects of a self-instruction package comprised of a task analysis data sheet, detailed written instructions, and a small group performance feedback training on the training of 12 undergraduate students to conduct trial-based functional analyses (TBFAs). In contrast to previous research, training omitted technical language and did not include didactic instruction on the pri...... hiện toàn bộ
An Approach to Cleanliness Training to Support Bathroom Hygiene among Children with Autism Spectrum DisorderBehavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 11 - Trang 139-143 - 2018
Kristen L. Byra, Shannon White, Matthew Temple, Michael J. Cameron
The current investigation extends the findings of previous studies on the effects of simulation and correspondence training for teaching hygiene skills. Two male participants between the ages of 5 and 6 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were taught hygiene skills in a clinic setting. Both participants acquired the hygiene routine. Following instruction, the participants’ parents conducted probe ...... hiện toàn bộ
Positive Behavior Support for Individuals with Behavior ChallengesBehavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 8 - Trang 101-108 - 2015
Meme Hieneman
Individual positive behavior support (PBS) is a process that combines evidence-based practices from applied behavior analysis (ABA) and other disciplines to resolve behavioral challenges and improve independence, participation, and overall quality of life of individuals living and learning in complex community environments. Its features include lifestyle enhancement, collaboration with typical car...... hiện toàn bộ
Ask the Experts: How Can New Students Defend Behavior Analysis from Misunderstandings?Behavior Analysis in Practice - Tập 7 - Trang 138-140 - 2014
Amel Becirevic
The success of behavior analysis as a field depends on the successes of its students, researchers, practitioners, and advocates. A new generation of graduate students will ultimately speak on the behalf of the field. In order to further promote the field, students must not only learn about what behavior analysis is, but also about what behavior analysis is not. We must prepare ourselves to adequat...... hiện toàn bộ
