Haegele, Katherine; Burns, Matthew K. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2015
The amount of information that students can successfully learn and recall at least 1 day later is called an acquisition rate (AR) and is unique to the individual student. The current study extended previous drill rehearsal research with word recognition by (a) using students identified with a learning disability in reading, (b) assessing set sizes…

Duhon, Gary J.; House, Sara; Hastings, Kim; Poncy, Brian; Solomon, Benjamin – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2015
The primary purpose of intensifying interventions is to increase the effect of the intervention currently being delivered. However, there has been little empirical work completed that can provide guidance on selecting intensification methods. Because intensity can be modified in a number of ways that may differentially impact the time, effort, or…

Polanin, Joshua R.; Espelage, Dorothy L. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2015
School bullying and delinquent behaviors are persistent and pervasive problems for schools, and have lasting effects for all individuals involved (Copeland et al., "JAMA Psychiatry" 70:419-426, 2013; Espelage et al., "J Res Adolesc" 24(2):337-349, 2013a). As a result, policymakers and practitioners have attempted to thwart…

Three Head Start teachers received professional development that combined information on four…

Neil, Nicole; Jones, Emily A. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2015
Determining how best to meet the needs of learners with Down syndrome requires an approach to intervention delivered at some level of intensity. How treatment intensity affects learner acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of skills can help optimize the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of interventions. There is a growing body of research…

Yoder, Paul J.; Woynaroski, Tiffany – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2015
Seven empirical studies from this special issue and an overview chapter are reviewed to illustrate several points about studying the possible effects of treatment intensity manipulations on generalized skill or knowledge acquisition in students with disabilities. First, we make a case in favor of studying intensity as separate from complexity and…
