Ciobha A. McKeown; Carley E. Smith; Timothy R. Vollmer; Lindsay A. Lloveras; Kerri P. Peters – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2024
Teaching an infant manual signs is beneficial as it promotes early communication, improves socialization, and can functionally replace behaviors such as crying and whining. Improving early communication also may reduce the probability of an infant engaging in dangerous behavior, like unsafe climbing. The purpose of this study was to extend…

Jillian C. Sordello; Robbie J. Hanson; Caio F. Miguel; Armando Angulo; Charles S. Dingus – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2024
In the current study, eight college students were exposed to a successive matching-to-sample (S-MTS) procedure utilizing non-verbal auditory stimuli consisting of common sounds. During emergent relations tests, participants were asked to talk aloud, and their vocal-verbal statements were transcribed and categorized as class-consistent,…

Roy Salomonsen; Sigmund Eldevik – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2024
This study examined the effect of a serial multiple exemplar training (S-MET) procedure on bidirectional naming (BiN) in four preschool children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A non-concurrent multiple baseline design was used to evaluate the effects of training listener and speaker behavior for one stimulus at a time until BiN…

Paige Ellington; Tom Cariveau – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2024
Recent reviews of behavior analytic journals suggest that participant demographics are inadequately described. These reviews have been limited to brief periods across several journals, emphasized specific variables (e.g., socioeconomic status), or only included specific populations. The current scoping review included all published articles in…

Hannah E. Thompson; Robbie J. Hanson – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2024
Individuals with deaf-blindness and co-occurring diagnoses, such as intellectual and developmental disabilities, may experience difficulty with independence, specifically with communication. One behavior-analytic procedure that may be useful for increasing independence and teaching communication to this population is the behavior-chain…

Kate Hewett; Emma Hawkins – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2024
This study tested for the emergence of listener discriminations and intraverbal vocal responses following tact training with four autistic children. All participants were trained to tact the name and the favorite food of two contrived cartoon monsters in the presence of a picture of the monster (e.g., "What is the name of this monster?"…

Elizabeth J. Preas; Mary E. Halbur; Regina A. Carroll – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2024
Procedural fidelity refers to the degree to which procedures for an assessment or intervention (i.e., independent variables) are implemented consistent with the prescribed protocols. Procedural fidelity is an important factor in demonstrating the internal validity of an experiment and clinical treatments. Previous reviews evaluating the inclusion…

Esch, Barbara E.; Lindblad, Tracie L.; Clark, Brittany; Ali, Zareen – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2023
An intraverbal assessment was administered to older adults with aphasia, using a hierarchy of questions that required increasingly complex verbal discriminative stimulus control. Five categories of errors were defined and analyzed for putative stimulus control, with the aim to identify requisite assessment components leading to more efficient and…

Platt, Delanie F.; Cariveau, Tom; Brown, Alexandria; Ellington, Paige; Bayer, Camille; Stocker, James D. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2023
In simultaneous prompting procedures, an immediate (i.e., 0-s) prompt is presented during all training trials, and transfer to the target discriminative condition is assessed during daily probes. Previous research suggests that simultaneous prompting procedures are efficacious and may produce acquisition in fewer errors to mastery when compared to…

Ratkos, Thom; McFayden, Aubrey; Small, Anne – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2023
The autoclitic is among the least studied and most complex verbal operant named and described by Skinner. The descriptive autoclitic is one subtype, which among other functions can describe the strength of the response. If the clarity of the stimulus is one source of response strength for tacts, manipulating stimulus clarity should evoke different…

Conine, Daniel E.; Guerrero, Lisa A.; Jones-Thomas, Erica; Frampton, Sarah E.; Vollmer, Timothy R.; Smith-Bonahue, Tina – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2023
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may struggle with verbal behavior related to recall in various contexts. However, relatively little research has evaluated methods for improving recall among this population, and even fewer from a verbal behavior perspective. One socially important set of skills that relies upon a behavioral repertoire…

Schleifer-Katz, Evan; Ortu, Daniele – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2023
The discipline of film studies often engages in analyses of the functions of filmmakers' decisions in terms of their effects on viewers. Behavior analysis uses a similar, functional-analytic approach toward understanding the relationship between individuals' behavior and the environmental effects that maintain their behavior. Given converging…

Chan, Stephanie C.; Ormandy, Shannon; Stockwell, August; Rehfeldt, Ruth Anne – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2023
Music is a unique form of verbal stimuli (Reynolds & Hayes, "The Psychological Record," 67(3), 413-421, 2017) and the literature has indicated some success in using procedures involving the frame of coordination or stimulus equivalence to teach early piano skills to learners with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD; Hill et…

Yoon, Jessica S.; Greer, R. Douglas; Virk, Maninder; Fienup, Daniel M. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2023
Although many neurotypical children acquire untaught word-object relations incidentally from naturally occurring environmental experiences, many children with and without developmental disabilities require specific intervention. This study examined the effects of rotating listener (match and point) and speaker (tact and intraverbal-tact) responses…

Sosine, Jacob; Cox, David J. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2023
Published research in scientific journals are critical resources for researchers as primary sources about: what is important in the field, the direction the field is headed, how the field relates to other sciences, and as a historical record for each of these. In this exploratory study, we analyzed the articles of five behavior analytic journals…
