Stinson, Lesleigh; Dallery, Jesse – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Problematic social media use can be characterized as that which interferes with relationships, work, school, or sleep. Currently, there are no empirically supported treatments for reducing problematic social media use. We tested a package intervention to reduce the daily duration of social media use measured by a smartphone application with nine…

Gelino, Brett W.; Salzer, Allyson R.; Harsin, Joshua D.; Naudé, Gideon P.; Gilroy, Shawn P.; Reed, Derek D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Policy drives community-level behavior change, so behavior analysts should aid empirical policy development. University campus regulation is a useful proxy for broader policy initiatives and thus is a convenient inroad for behavior analyst involvement. This paper examines behavior analytic contributions to the planning and evaluation of a…

Lehardy, Robert K.; Luczynski, Kevin C.; Stocco, Corey S.; Fallon, Maya J.; Rodriguez, Nicole M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Young children break rules (i.e., transgress) and then lie about those transgressions. By adolescence, lying is associated with decreased trust, communication, and quality of relationships, and with befriending antisocial peers. To decrease lies, we replicated differentially reinforcing honest reports about transgressions for one 6-year-old…

Morris, Samuel L.; Vollmer, Timothy R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Recent research has developed methods of assessing the function of generic, nonindividualized social interactions. The purpose of this type of assessment is to provide a measure of how an individual may respond to the types of interactions readily available in the natural environment. To date, no research has evaluated how the social time…

Hood, Stephanie A.; Gopez, Jesey M.; Fallon, Maya J.; Byczynski, Francesca A.; Aquino, Sylvia C.; Monroy, Stephanie – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Individuals with conversation skill deficits often have difficulties discriminating cues of interest and uninterest from their conversation partner(s). We used behavioral skills training (BST) to teach 3 individuals with autism spectrum disorder to converse about the conversation partner's topics of interest, initiate strategic preferred topics to…

Ghaemmaghami, Mahshid; Hanley, Gregory P.; Jessel, Joshua – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Functional communication training (FCT; Carr & Durand, 1985) is a common function-based treatment in which an alternative form of communication is taught to reduce problem behavior. FCT has been shown to result in substantial reductions of a variety of topographically and functionally different types of problem behavior in children and adults…

Stedman-Falls, Lisa M.; Dallery, Jesse – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Deposit contracts involve participants depositing their own money and earning it back contingent on behavior change. Deposit contracts are empirically supported treatments for promoting health behavior, but they have a history of poor uptake. We compared the effectiveness and acceptability of technology-based versus in-person deposit contracts for…

LaFrance, Danielle L.; Tarbox, Jonathan – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
According to traditional linguistic accounts language, and its generative nature, cannot be taught. From a behavior analytic perspective, language is like any other behavior; it is learned and amenable to change. Based upon Skinner's radical behavioral analysis of verbal behavior, specific procedures have been designed to promote novel verbal…

Mann, Charlotte C.; Karsten, Amanda M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Better conversational skills correspond to a higher quality of life for adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this study, we taught vocal--verbal responses discriminated by compound arrangements of concealed conversation partner mands to two college students with ASD. Participants learned to engage in self-questioning about…

Gunning, Ciara; Holloway, Jennifer; Grealish, Leanne – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Parental involvement in intervention can support intervention efficacy, improve generalization, and increase accessibility. The Preschool Life Skills (PLS) program is designed to teach 13 preschool life skills and prevent problem behavior. The current study explores the utility of the PLS program as delivered by parents. In Experiment 1, 6 parents…

Wichnick-Gillis, Alison M.; Vener, Susan M.; Poulson, Claire L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
We used a script-fading package to teach children with autism to initiate social interactions across various activities in the school setting, and we programmed for generalization in the untrained home setting with a sibling. The three participants, ages 8 to 10 years, demonstrated deficits in social initiations with their peers. During baseline,…

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…

Shapiro, Marnie; Kazemi, Ellie; Pogosjana, Meline; Rios, Denice; Mendoza, Melissa – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
We examined the effects of a self-instructional and feedback package on participants' implementation of a paired-stimulus preference assessment. Specifically, in Experiment 1, we used a multiple baseline design across participants to replicate and extend the results of Graff and Karsten (2012) by evaluating the effectiveness of their…

A multiple baseline design across participants was used to demonstrate the effects of a script-training procedure on the peer-to-peer communication of 3 children with autism spectrum disorder during group play with peers. Both scripted and unscripted initiations as well as responses to peers increased for all 3 participants. Stimulus…

Peters, Lindsay C.; Thompson, Rachel H. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2015
Successful conversation requires that the speaker's behavior is sensitive to nonvocal listener responses. We observed children with autism spectrum disorder during conversation probes in which a listener periodically displayed nonvocal cues that she was uninterested in the conversation. We used behavioral skills training to teach conversation…
