Poling, Alan – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
Establishing appropriate relations between the basic and applied areas of behavior analysis has been of long and persistent interest to the author. In this article, the author illustrates that there is a direct relation between how hard an organism will work for access to an object or activity, as indexed by the largest ratio completed under a…

Pigott, H. Edmund; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
Procedures are proposed for increasing the accuracy of generalization assessment in applied behavior analysis with behavior problem populations by accounting for the degree of natural covariation between treated and untreated behaviors. (Author/DB)

Lovaas, Ivar; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
A detailed hypothesis of the acquisition and maintenance of self-stimulatory behavior is offered, proposing that such behaviors are operant responses whose reinforcers are automatically produced perceptual consequences. Related concepts are discussed, and support for the hypothesis from the areas of sensory reinforcement and sensory deprivation is…

Haring, Thomas G.; Kennedy, Craig H. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1988
Four criteria for evaluating the appropriateness of units of analysis for task analytic research are proposed. Meeting all four criteria and thus recommended for use in behavior analytic work is percentage correct with competent performance coded and a task analysis grid showing individual step performance.

Baer, Donald M.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
Dimensions characteristically descriptive of applied behavior analysis over the past 20 years are explored: applied, behavioral, analytic, conceptual, technological, effective, and capable of appropriately generalized outcomes. Effectiveness in the future must take into account cost-benefit ratios, social validity assessments, and the need for…

Wolf, Montrose M.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
Serious delinquent behavior may be part of a disabling and durable condition that consists of multiple antisocial and dysfunctional behaviors, often runs in families, and eludes effective short-term treatment. The socializing influence of long-term supportive family treatment is discussed as a therapeutic alternative. (Author/JW)

Catania, A. Charles; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
Stokes, Osnes, and Guevremont's (1987) implicit definition of correspondence classes is fundamentally procedural. A contingency-space analysis, on the other hand, is independent of specific procedures and focuses attention on problems inherent in some procedural definitions. It addresses the issue of distinguishing specific instances from classes.…

Epstein, Robert; Balsam, Peter D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1985
R. Epstein criticizes an article by P. Balsam and A. Bondy which urged caution in the use of reinforcement techniques. Epstein cites logic problems and notes the complexity of interventions. Balsam and Bondy respond and restate their basic argument. (CL)

Ingham, Roger J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1983
The author responds to a study which suggested that token reinforcement is redundant in stating and shaping fluent speech within a stuttering program. He cites methodological differences as well as procedural differences in the treatment programs mentioned. (Author/CL)

Howie, Pauline M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1983
The author responds to criticism of her research on token reinforcement in stuttering by reviewing methodological issues as well as concerns related to the token systems. (CL)

Houlihan, Daniel; Brandon, Paul K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
This commentary discusses John Nevin's article on establishing compliance via behavioral momentum involving high-probability procedures, and questions whether applications of behavioral momentum can be derived from the theory, whether applications could have been developed if the theory not been formulated, and whether the theory will add…

Mace, F. Charles – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
Discusses behavioral momentum and the general behavioral relation between the persistence of behavior and the rate of reinforcement obtained in a given situation. Strategies for establishing the generality of behavioral relations are reviewed, followed by a brief summary of evidence for the generality of behavioral momentum. (Author/CR)

Stromer, Robert; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
This review of research discusses how children with autism may acquire equivalence classes after learning to supply a common oral name to each stimulus in a potential class. A proposed methodology for researching referent naming and class formation, analysis of stimulus classes, and generalization is offered. (CR)

Wacker, David; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1990
The article proposes a sequential alternating treatments design requiring that two treatments be initially implemented in a random or counterbalanced fashion followed by a sequential change in one or both treatments across settings, subjects, or tasks. This design is appropriate when it is not feasible to obtain a traditional baseline condition.…

The paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of allowing mentally retarded clients to exercise personal liberties, such as the right to choose and refuse daily activities. Recommendations are offered to protect both the right to habilitation and the freedom to choose. (Author/DB)
