Goldsmith, Oliver Scott – ISER Fiscal Policy Papers, 1989
Alaska faces a problem that is easy to explain but hard to solve: state government is spending more than it collects. The budget crisis looms because oil production, which supplies 85% of the state's general fund revenues, will soon begin to fall as the Prudhoe Bay oil field is depleted. This paper examines the potential deficit and the effect it…

Goldsmith, Oliver Scott; And Others – 1989
Alaska became suddenly and surprisingly rich in the early 1980s, with oil revenues from Prudhoe Bay paying for almost all state operations, picking up some of the costs of local government, creating a huge state savings account, paying all Alaskans annual cash dividends, and eliminating the need for state personal income taxes. The smaller…

Goldsmith, Oliver Scott; And Others – ISER Fiscal Policy Papers, 1990
During the 1980s Alaska's state and local governments spent two to three times more per capita than governments in other states but taxed individuals and businesses only about half as much. They were able to do this because high petroleum revenues paid most government expenses. Petroleum revenues began declining in the 1980s, and by the year 2000,…

Oliver, Chris; Holland, Tony; Hall, Scott; Crayton, Lissa – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2005
The effect of increasing the number of stimuli to be recalled was investigated to evaluate whether sensitivity for memory impairment was enhanced in adults with Down syndrome when using higher task load. Three levels of load were compared across three groups of adults: those with cognitive deterioration, no cognitive deterioration over age 40, and…

Oliver, Peter R.; Scott, Teri L. – Mental Retardation, 1981
Eight severely mentally handicapped adults were taught two adjective concepts--one adjective using group training and one adjective using individual instruction. Although group and individual training were equally effective in terms of rates of acquisition, generalization was 45 percent greater when exemplars of each adjective concept were taught…

Hall, Scott; Thorns, Tracy; Oliver, Chris – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2003
This study examined structural characteristics and environmental variables in the stereotypic behaviors of eight individuals with developmental disabilities. Findings indicated that structural characteristics (percentage of time, bout length, and bout length variability) were highly correlated. Also, stereotyped behaviors were more likely to occur…

Hall, Scott; Oliver, Chris; Murphy, Glynis – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2001
The early development of self-injurious behavior (SIB) in 16 young children with developmental disabilities was tracked over an 18-month period. Naturalistic observations in each child's classroom found a significant association between early SIB and low levels of social contact, which may be considered as a risk marker for SIB exacerbation.…

Oliver, Chris; Demetriades, Louisa; Hall, Scott – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2002
A study examined the variability of smiling and laughing behaviors of three children (ages 7-17) with Angelman syndrome. Results found laughing and smiling increased during social situations and occurred at low levels during non-social situations. The behaviors, therefore, did not occur totally inappropriately, as has been suggested. (Contains…

Analysis of questionnaires completed by caregivers of 77 individuals with Cornelia de Lange syndrome in the United Kingdom found a significant association between self-injurious behaviors and self-restraint, and those displaying both behaviors displayed significantly more compulsions than did those not exhibiting them. Findings extend the…

Arron, Kate; Oliver, Chris; Hall, Scott; Sloneem, Jenny; Forman, Debbie; McClintock, Karen – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2006
Cornelia de Lange syndrome is reported to be associated with self-injurious behavior (SIB) and social avoidance. We used analog methodology to examine the effect of manipulating adult social contact on social communicative behaviors and SIB in 16 children with this syndrome. For 9 participants engagement behavior was related to levels of adult…

Murphy, Glynis; Macdonald, Sue; Hall, Scott; Oliver, Chris – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2000
A case study is used to argue that the function of the aggressive behavior of a young woman with severe mental retardation was to avoid or escape the termination of a chain of complex stereotyped ritual behaviors. This is an example of complex interaction between two behaviors and illustrates the need for very careful analysis of the functions of…
