Kodak, Tiffany; Bergmann, Samantha; Cordeiro, Maria Clara; Bamond, Meredith; Isenhower, Robert W.; Fiske, Kate E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Auditory-visual conditional discrimination training (e.g., receptive identification training, listener responses; AVCD) is ubiquitous in early intervention and special education programs. Nevertheless, some learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) do not appear to benefit from this training despite use of empirically validated treatments. To…

Cordeiro, Maria Clara; Kodak, Tiffany; Reidy, Jessi; Stoppleworth, Abigail; Zelinski, Karly; Jainga, Andrea – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Mastery criteria can be applied to individual targets or stimuli organized into sets. Wong et al. (2021) and Wong and Fienup (2022) found that participants who received special education services learned sight words more rapidly when an individual target mastery criterion was applied. The current study replicated and extended these findings across…

Bergmann, Samantha; Turner, Maria; Kodak, Tiffany; Grow, Laura L.; Meyerhofer, Courtney; Niland, Haven S.; Edmonds, Kaitlyn – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are taught conditional discriminations often during early intervention. Auditory-visual conditional discrimination (AVCD) training requires the presentation of multiple antecedent stimuli, and the order of stimulus presentation varies in the literature. This series of studies replicated previous…

Halbur, Mary; Kodak, Tiffany; Williams, Xi'an; Reidy, Jessi; Halbur, Christopher – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
A portion of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulty acquiring conditional discrimination. However, previous researchers suggested that the discrimination of nonverbal auditory stimuli may be acquired more efficiently (Eikeseth & Hayward, 2009; Uwer, et al., 2002). For example, a child may learn to touch a…

Kodak, Tiffany; Halbur, Mary; Bergmann, Samantha; Costello, Dayna R.; Benitez, Brittany; Olsen, Miranda; Gorgan, Ella; Cliett, Terra – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Previous studies on skill acquisition have taught targets in stimulus sets composed of different numbers of stimuli. Although the rationale for selection of a stimulus set size is not clear, the number of target stimuli trained within a set is a treatment decision for which there is limited empirical support. The current investigation compared the…

Campanaro, Alexandra M.; Vladescu, Jason C.; Kodak, Tiffany; DeBar, Ruth M.; Nippes, Kasey C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of implementing differential reinforcement at different times relative to the onset of teaching new skills to learners with autism spectrum disorder. Specifically, we first determined the most efficient differential reinforcement arrangement for each participant. Using the most efficient…

Gorgan, Ella M.; Kodak, Tiffany – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Prior research has examined interventions to prevent prompt dependence from occurring during the training of novel skills. Nevertheless, the relative efficacy and efficiency of different intervention procedures may be idiosyncratic across learners, suggesting the potential benefit of an individualized assessment. The purpose of the current study…

Knutson, Sophie C.; Kodak, Tiffany; Costello, Dayna R.; Cliett, Terra – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
The current study extends the literature on task interspersal (TI) by comparing the effects of four different TI ratios on the efficiency of skill acquisition and on levels of problem behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder and related disorders. The four ratios of TI were 3:1, 1:1, 1:3, and 0:1 mastered-to-acquisition tasks. An adapted…

Schnell, Lauren K.; Vladescu, Jason C.; Kodak, Tiffany; Nottingham, Casey L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Generalization is a critical outcome for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who display new skills in a limited range of contexts. In the absence of proper planning, generalization may not be observed. The purpose of the current study was to directly compare serial to concurrent multiple exemplar training using total training time per…

Nottingham, Casey L.; Vladescu, Jason C.; Kodak, Tiffany; Kisamore, April N. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
The current study examined the outcome of presenting multiple secondary targets in learning trials for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. We compared conditions in which (a) a secondary target was presented in the antecedent and consequence of trials, (b) two secondary targets were presented in the consequence of trials, (c) one secondary…

Johnson, Kate A.; Vladescu, Jason C.; Kodak, Tiffany; Sidener, Tina M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
Differential reinforcement procedures may promote unprompted correct responding, resulting in a quicker transfer of stimulus control than nondifferential reinforcement. Recent studies that have compared reinforcement arrangements have found that the most effective arrangement may differ across participants. The current study conducted an…

Kodak, Tiffany; Campbell, Vincent; Bergmann, Samantha; LeBlanc, Brittany; Kurtz-Nelson, Eva; Cariveau, Tom; Haq, Shaji; Zemantic, Patricia; Mahon, Jacob – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
Prior research shows that learners have idiosyncratic responses to error-correction procedures during instruction. Thus, assessments that identify error-correction strategies to include in instruction can aid practitioners in selecting individualized, efficacious, and efficient interventions. The current investigation conducted an assessment to…

Cariveau, Tom; Kodak, Tiffany; Campbell, Vincent – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
We replicated and extended the study by Koegel, Dunlap, and Dyer (1980) by examining the effects of 3 intertrial-interval (ITI) durations on skill acquisition in 2 children with autism spectrum disorders. Specifically, we compared the effect of short (2 s), progressive (2 s to 20 s), and long (20 s) ITIs on participants' mastery of tacts or…

Toussaint, Karen A.; Kodak, Tiffany; Vladescu, Jason C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
The current study compared the differential effects of choice and no-choice reinforcement conditions on skill acquisition. In addition, we assessed preference for choice-making opportunities with 3 children with autism, using a modified concurrent-chains procedure. We replicated the experiment with 2 participants. The results indicated that…

Carroll, Regina A.; Kodak, Tiffany; Adolf, Kari J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
We used an adapted alternating treatments design to compare skill acquisition during discrete-trial instruction using immediate reinforcement, delayed reinforcement with immediate praise, and delayed reinforcement for 2 children with autism spectrum disorder. Participants acquired the skills taught with immediate reinforcement; however, delayed…
