Kim, Ji Young; Fienup, Daniel M.; Draus, Cassandra J.; Wong, Kristina K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
We compared the effects of different "mastery" criteria and doses on the acquisition and maintenance of sight words for 4 second graders with and without disabilities. First, we replicated Set Analysis and Operant Analysis conditions where participants were taught sight words in 20-trial (4 operants, 5 opportunities) sessions.…

Verdun, Victoria R.; Fienup, Daniel M.; Chiasson, Brittany A.; Greer, R. Douglas – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Peer-mediated instructional strategies (e.g., peer tutoring) have been effective at teaching academic responses in previous research. This study extended the literature by programming for inference-making, or derived relations. Across two experiments, researchers investigated the use of peer tutoring and inference-making to teach…

Lozy, Erica D.; Holmes, Sarah C.; Donaldson, Jeanne M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Students who fail to acquire foundational literacy skills during preschool are more likely to read below grade level average in elementary school and are at a heightened risk for future school failure, poverty, early mortality, and crime. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects and maintenance of and preference for paired kinesthetic…

Nieto, Paola; Wiskow, Katie M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
A recent intervention, the Step it UP! game (Galbraith & Normand, 2017), consists of an interdependent group contingency to increase student physical activity. In addition, previous research demonstrated that adult interaction may reinforce physical activity (Larson et al., 2014). We extended research on the Step it UP! game by comparing the…

Silva, Erika; Wiskow, Katie M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is an effective intervention to reduce disruptive behavior. The GBG typically involves immediate stimulus presentation (e.g., delivery of a token) following disruptions; however, experimenters have also removed tokens contingent upon disruptions. In the present study, we compared the effects of the GBG-stimulus…

Robison, Melinda A.; Mann, Tracie B.; Ingvarsson, Einar T. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
The Preschool Life Skills program is an intervention package designed to teach functional skills to prevent problem behavior in typically developing children. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effects of the instructional package (renamed "Life Skills") with children with developmental disabilities. The program…

Normand, Matthew P.; Burji, Carla – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
The Step it UP! Game is an interdependent group reinforcement contingency based on the Good Behavior Game. We evaluated the effects of the Step it UP! Game on the number of steps taken by 3rd-grade students during physical-education (PE) classes at a local public elementary school. We divided the class into 2 teams and awarded a "Step it UP!…

Deshais, Meghan A.; Fisher, Alyssa B.; Kahng, SungWoo – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
We used a reversal design with an embedded multielement design to compare the effects of an independent group contingency and a randomized dependent group contingency on compliance with assigned literacy worksheets in a first-grade general education classroom. Nine participants were selected based on low levels of compliance in baseline or by…

Donaldson, Jeanne M.; Matter, Ashley L.; Wiskow, Katie M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a classwide group contingency shown to reduce disruptive student behavior. We examined the feasibility of training young students to lead the GBG in one first-grade and three kindergarten classes. We also examined teacher preference for teacher-led GBG, student-led GBG, or no GBG using a concurrent chains procedure.…

Dickson, Misty Jo; Vargo, Kristina K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
During situations in which a gunman is present on a school campus, lockdowns are initiated until the threat is removed. However, there are no data demonstrating an effective teaching strategy to increase students' correct responding during a lockdown. We evaluated the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST) to teach three groups of…

Nava, Maria J.; Vargo, Kristina K.; Babino, Misti M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
Students may engage in high rates of social approach responses at inappropriate times throughout the school day. One intervention that has been used to teach students appropriate and inappropriate times to access attention is a multiple schedule of reinforcement. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of a multiple schedule that indicated when…

Petursdottir, Anna Ingeborg; Aguilar, Gabriella – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
Receptive identification is usually taught in matching-to-sample format, which entails the presentation of an auditory sample stimulus and several visual comparison stimuli in each trial. Conflicting recommendations exist regarding the order of stimulus presentation in matching-to-sample trials. The purpose of this study was to compare acquisition…

Kuhl, Sarah; Rudrud, Eric H.; Witts, Benjamin N.; Schulze, Kimberly A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2015
This study investigated the effects of 2 interdependent group contingencies (individual vs. cumulative classroom goal setting) on the number of pedometer-recorded steps taken per day. Thirty third-grade students in 2 classrooms participated. An ABACX design was conducted in which the X phase referred to a replication of the most successful phase…

Donaldson, Jeanne M.; Wiskow, Katie M.; Soto, Paul L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2015
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) has been demonstrated to reduce disruptive student behavior during implementation. The effects of playing the GBG on disruption immediately before and after the GBG are unknown. The current study evaluated the effects of the GBG on disruption in 5 kindergarten classes immediately before, during, and after GBG…

Luczynski, Kevin C.; Hanley, Gregory P.; Rodriguez, Nicole M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
The preschool life skills (PLS) program (Hanley, Heal, Tiger, & Ingvarsson, 2007; Luczynski & Hanley, 2013) involves teaching social skills as a means of decreasing and preventing problem behavior. However, achieving durable outcomes as children transition across educational settings depend on the generalization and long-term maintenance…
