Schroeder, Carly; Ragotzy, Steve; Poling, Alan – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Students with intellectual and other developmental disabilities often require substantial support to acquire the skills needed to secure work experience and paid employment. Prior findings suggest that video prompting is likely to be an effective and feasible strategy for establishing such skills. To evaluate this possibility in a special…

McHugh, Catherine L.; Dozier, Claudia L.; Diaz de Villegas, Sara C.; Kanaman, Nicole A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
In 2020 the Centers for Disease Control provided the public with recommendations to slow the spread of COVID-19 by wearing a mask in the community. In the current study, experimenters coached group home staff via telehealth to implement synchronous schedules of reinforcement to increase mask wearing for 5 adults with intellectual and developmental…

Stocco, Corey S.; Saavedra, Ingrid; Fakharzadeh, Sadaf; Patel, Meg R.; Thompson, Rachel H. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Previous research has shown that responding to the appropriate and problematic speech of individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities with interested and uninterested listener responses, respectively, can promote more appropriate conversational engagement. However, Fisher et al. (2013) also responded to appropriate speech with access to…

Villante, Natalie K.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Som, Sopia; Hunt, Justin C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Teaching job-related problem-solving skills may increase the likelihood that individuals with developmental disabilities obtain and maintain employment (Kaye et al., 2011; Peck & Kirkbride, 2001; Unger, 2002). In this study, we evaluated the use of electronic-based flowcharts on an iPod Touch as a form of self-instruction to increase problem…

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…

Suberman, Rachel; Cividini-Motta, Catia – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Individuals with developmental disabilities often do not develop vocal repertoires, thus requiring the use of augmentative devices. Teaching caregivers to conduct communication training with their children may be one way to foster communication with their device in the natural environment. This study replicates Rosales, Stone and Rehfeldt (2009),…

Richling, Sarah M.; Williams, W. Larry; Carr, James E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
The acquisition of skills by individuals with developmental disabilities typically includes the attainment of a certain mastery criterion. We conducted a survey of practitioners who indicated the most commonly used mastery criterion as 80% accuracy across three consecutive sessions. Based on these results, we conducted a series of three…

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…

Cariveau, Tom; La Cruz Montilla, Astrid; Gonzalez, Elizabeth; Ball, Sydney – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Error correction procedures are remedial strategies presented following an incorrect response that increases the probability that a correct response will occur in the future. Error correction is commonly used during skill acquisition programs for children with developmental disabilities; however, the specific strategy used may differ considerably.…

Bentham, Stephanie N.; Walker, Stephen F.; Vander Pluym, Maria E.; Tejeda, Kristina N. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Behavior analysts typically teach conditional discriminations in a mixed-trial format but may switch to a blocked-trial format for learners displaying limited acquisition. No known research has shown that mixed-trial methods are more effective or efficient than blocked-trial methods for teaching discriminations, so it is not clear why this format…

Groves, Emily A.; Austin, Jennifer L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a classroom management system that employs an interdependent group contingency, whereby students work as a team to win the game. Although previous anecdotal data have suggested that this arrangement may promote prosocial behavior, teachers may have concerns about its fairness and potential to evoke negative peer…

Donnelly, Maeve G.; Karsten, Amanda M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
This investigation sheds light on necessary and sufficient conditions to establish self-care behavior chains among people with developmental disabilities. First, a descriptive assessment (DA) identified the types of teaching errors that occurred during self-care instruction. Second, the relative effects of three teaching errors observed during the…

Richardson, Amy R.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Nissen, Melissa A.; Luck, Kally M.; Neal, Ashley E.; Bao, Shimin; Tsami, Loukia – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
Sight-word instruction can be a useful supplement to phonics-based methods under some circumstances. Nonetheless, few studies have evaluated the conditions under which pictures may be used successfully to teach sight-word reading. In this study, we extended prior research by examining two potential strategies for reducing the effects of…

Farber, Rachel S.; Dube, William V.; Dickson, Chata A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
Individuals with developmental disabilities may fail to attend to multiple features in compound stimuli (e.g., arrays of pictures, letters within words) with detrimental effects on learning. Participants were 5 children with autism spectrum disorder who had low to intermediate accuracy scores (35% to 84%) on a computer-presented compound matching…

Heinicke, Megan R.; Carr, James E.; Pence, Sacha T.; Zias, Danika R.; Valentino, Amber L.; Falligant, John M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
Past research has demonstrated that pictorial preference assessments can predict subsequent reinforcement effects for individuals with developmental disabilities only when access to the selected stimulus is provided contingent on a pictorial selection. The purpose of the present investigation was to assess more comprehensively the feasibility of…
