Clements, Andrea; Fisher, Wayne W.; Keevy, Madeleine – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulty generalizing from directly trained responses to untrained responses (i.e., emergent responding). In this study, we used a chain prompt combined with matrix training to teach 2 participants with ASD to tact 192 three-digit numerals. We used a multiple-baseline design across matrices to…

Fisher, Wayne W.; Luczynski, Kevin C.; Blowers, Andrew P.; Vosters, Megan E.; Pisman, Maegan D.; Craig, Andy R.; Hood, Stephanie A.; Machado, Mychal A.; Lesser, Aaron D.; Piazza, Cathleen C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Parents play an important role in the treatment of their children's symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD); thus, developing effective, efficient, socially acceptable, and accessible procedures for training parents to implement applied-behavior-analysis (ABA) interventions is critically important. One potential approach involves delivering…

Retzlaff, Billie J.; Phillips, Lauren A.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Hardee, Alexandra M.; Fuhrman, Ashley M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Despite the effectiveness of function-based treatments, most clinicians do not conduct functional analyses (FA). The time required to conduct an FA is a major barrier preventing their use. One way to increase FA efficiency is to discontinue the analysis as soon as it has produced clear results. Saini et al. (2018) evaluated a structured procedure…

DeSouza, Andresa A.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Rodriguez, Nicole M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Convergent intraverbals represent a specific type of intraverbal in which multiple components of one speaker's verbal behavior control a specific verbal response from another speaker (e.g., Speaker 1: What wooly, horned animal lives in the high country? Speaker 2: Bighorn sheep). To foster the development of advanced language, Sundberg and…

Mitteer, Daniel R.; Greer, Brian D.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Cohrs, Victoria L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
In this investigation, we (a) define the desirable features of publication-quality, single-case design graphs based on recommendations in the scholarly literature, (b) suggest GraphPad Prism as a suitable graphing program for creating graphs with those features, and (c) develop and validate a video-modeling tutorial designed to train behavior…

Fuhrman, Ashley M.; Greer, Brian D.; Zangrillo, Amanda N.; Fisher, Wayne W. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Arranging periods in which requests for reinforcement are denied in a multiple schedule may result in increased destructive behavior during these periods for individuals who receive functional communication training (FCT) as treatment for severe destructive behavior. Providing access to competing activities during periods of reinforcer…

Fisher, Wayne W.; Greer, Brian D.; Fuhrman, Ashley M.; Saini, Valdeep; Simmons, Christina A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
The resurgence of destructive behavior can occur during functional communication training (FCT) if the alternative response contacts a challenge (e.g., extinction). Behavioral momentum theory (BMT) suggests that refinements to FCT could mitigate resurgence of destructive behavior during periods of extinction. Following a functional analysis and…

Briggs, Adam M.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Greer, Brian D.; Kimball, Ryan T. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Functional communication training is a well-established treatment for socially reinforced destructive behavior that typically includes differential reinforcement of the functional communication response (FCR) in combination with extinction of destructive behavior. However, when the schedule of reinforcement for the FCR is thinned, destructive…

Fisher, Wayne W.; Greer, Brian D.; Mitteer, Daniel R.; Fuhrman, Ashley M.; Romani, Patrick W.; Zangrillo, Amanda N. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Recent research findings (DeRosa, Fisher, & Steege, 2015) suggest that minimizing exposure to the establishing operation (EO) for destructive behavior when differential reinforcement interventions like functional communication training (FCT) are introduced may produce more immediate reductions in destructive behavior and prevent or mitigate…

Higgins, William J.; Luczynski, Kevin C.; Carroll, Regina A.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Mudford, Oliver C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
Recent advancements in telecommunication technologies make it possible to conduct a variety of healthcare services remotely (e.g., behavioral-analytic intervention services), thereby bridging the gap between qualified providers and consumers in isolated locations. In this study, web-based telehealth technologies were used to remotely train…

Fuhrman, Ashley M.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Greer, Brian D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
Despite the effectiveness and widespread use of functional communication training (FCT), resurgence of destructive behavior can occur if the functional communication response (FCR) contacts a challenge, such as lapses in treatment integrity. We evaluated a method to mitigate resurgence by conducting FCT using a multiple schedule of reinforcement…

Fisher, Wayne W.; Greer, Brian D.; Fuhrman, Ashley M.; Querim, Angie C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2015
Multiple schedules with signaled periods of reinforcement and extinction have been used to thin reinforcement schedules during functional communication training (FCT) to make the intervention more practical for parents and teachers. We evaluated whether these signals would also facilitate rapid transfer of treatment effects across settings and…

Kodak, Tiffany; Fisher, Wayne W.; Paden, Amber; Dickes, Nitasha – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
We evaluated a discrete-trial functional analysis implemented by regular classroom staff in a classroom setting. The results suggest that the discrete-trial functional analysis identified a social function for each participant and may require fewer staff than standard functional analysis procedures.

Carroll, Regina A.; Kodak, Tiffany; Fisher, Wayne W. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
This study evaluated the effects of programmed treatment-integrity errors on skill acquisition for children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during discrete-trial instruction (DTI). In Study 1, we identified common treatment-integrity errors that occur during academic instruction in schools. In Study 2, we simultaneously manipulated 3…

Betz, Alison M.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Roane, Henry S.; Mintz, Joslyn C.; Owen, Todd M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
One limitation of functional communication training (FCT) is that individuals may request reinforcement via the functional communication response (FCR) at exceedingly high rates. Multiple schedules with alternating periods of reinforcement and extinction of the FCR combined with gradually lengthening the extinction-component interval can…
