Guercio, John M.; Johnson, Taylor; Dixon, Mark R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
The present investigation examined a behavior-analytic clinical treatment package designed to reduce the pathological gambling of 3 individuals with acquired brain injury. A prior history of pathological gambling of each patient was assessed via caregiver report, psychological testing, and direct observation of gambling behavior. Using an 8-week…

Grannan, Leigh; Rehfeldt, Ruth Anne – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
The present investigation evaluated the effectiveness of category tact and match-to-sample instruction in facilitating the emergence of intraverbal responses (i.e., naming several items belonging to a specific category) for 2 children with autism. Results demonstrated the emergence of untaught responses, suggesting an effective instructional…

Walker, Brooke D.; Rehfeldt, Ruth Anne – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
The purpose of the current study was to examine the degree to which instruction based on stimulus equivalence procedures could be used to teach single-subject design methodology to graduate-level professionals through a Web-based course management system known as Blackboard (see http://www.blackboard.com). Specifically, we used the stimulus…

Fienup, Daniel M.; Critchfield, Thomas S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
College students in a psychology research-methods course learned concepts related to inferential statistics and hypothesis decision making. One group received equivalence-based instruction on conditional discriminations that were expected to promote the emergence of many untaught, academically useful abilities (i.e., stimulus equivalence group). A…

VanWagner, Michelle; Van Houten, Ron; Betts, Brian – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
In 2008, nearly 31% of vehicle fatalities were related to failure to adhere to safe vehicle speeds (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA], 2009). The current study evaluated the effect of a rectangular rapid-flashing beacon (RRFB) triggered by excessive speed on vehicle speed using a combined alternating treatments and reversal…

Walker, Brooke D.; Rehfeldt, Ruth Anne; Ninness, Chris – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
In 2 experiments, we examined whether the stimulus equivalence instructional paradigm could be used to teach relations among names, definitions, causes, and common treatments for disabilities using a selection-based intraverbal training format. Participants were pre- and posttested on vocal intraverbal relations and were trained using…

Rehfeldt, Ruth Anne; Walker, Brooke; Garcia, Yors; Lovett, Sadie; Filipiak, Stephen – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
Classroom learning opportunities that arrange active engagement in course material and frequent feedback have been shown to enhance students' performance (e.g., Benjamin, 1991; Michael, 1991). Homework assignments are one example of such an opportunity. Recent research on the advantages of homework assignments has raised questions about their…

Johnson, Taylor E.; Dixon, Mark R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
Past research has demonstrated a transformation of stimulus functions under similar conditions using gambling tasks and adults (e.g., Zlomke & Dixon, 2006), and the present study attempted to extend this research. Experimenters exposed 7 children (ages 7 to 10 years) to a simulated board game with concurrently available dice differing only by…

Conley, Ronald W.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1989
A cost-benefit analysis is presented for Illinois's statewide supported employment initiative for individuals with developmental disabilities. The analysis concludes that society realized a $0.75 return for every $1.00 invested in supported employment, while supported employees realized a 37 percent increase in their earnings. (Author/JDD)
