Cordeiro, Maria Clara; Kodak, Tiffany; Reidy, Jessi; Stoppleworth, Abigail; Zelinski, Karly; Jainga, Andrea – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Mastery criteria can be applied to individual targets or stimuli organized into sets. Wong et al. (2021) and Wong and Fienup (2022) found that participants who received special education services learned sight words more rapidly when an individual target mastery criterion was applied. The current study replicated and extended these findings across…

degli Espinosa, Francesca; Wolff, Kate; Hewett, Sophie – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Previous research has investigated generalized intraverbal-tacting by teaching children with autism to respond using autoclitic frames. The present study compared the effectiveness and efficiency of a Frame and a No Frame procedure across counterbalanced stimulus sets with 4 children with autism. In the Frame condition, children were taught to…

Blowers, Andrew P.; Luczynski, Kevin C.; McKeown, Ciobha A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Whether a child with autism spectrum disorder will exhibit observational learning may depend on their attention to and the stimulus modalities of the observed contingency. We used multiple-probe and repeated-acquisition designs to test observational learning across a diverse set of contingencies, which included hidden edible, hidden toy, hidden…

Clements, Andrea; Fisher, Wayne W.; Keevy, Madeleine – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulty generalizing from directly trained responses to untrained responses (i.e., emergent responding). In this study, we used a chain prompt combined with matrix training to teach 2 participants with ASD to tact 192 three-digit numerals. We used a multiple-baseline design across matrices to…

Lee, Gabrielle T.; Hu, Xiaoyi; Liu, Yanhong; Yang, Zijin – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often lack symbolic play skills. Attribution of pretend properties (APP) is a type of symbolic play in which a child tacts pretend properties of an object (e.g., smelling a toy flower and saying, "It smells like a rose!"). Three Chinese boys (5-6 years of age) with ASD served as participants.…

Brayner de Freitas Gueiros, Cecília; Debert, Paula – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
The present study investigated whether the Go/No-Go procedure with compound stimuli produces emergent relations among dictated words (A), pictures (B), and printed words (C) and the emergence of textual behavior (CD) using a multiple probe design across word sets. Three preschool children were exposed to 4 phases: (1) pretests for BC, CB, and CD…

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…

Carter, Adam B.; Zonneveld, Kimberley L. M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Previous researchers found that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities tend to prefer edible over leisure stimuli, although leisure stimuli may still function as reinforcers. We replicated and extended previous research in a 2-part experiment with typically developing children. In Experiment 1, we evaluated 15 children's…

Kodak, Tiffany; Halbur, Mary; Bergmann, Samantha; Costello, Dayna R.; Benitez, Brittany; Olsen, Miranda; Gorgan, Ella; Cliett, Terra – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Previous studies on skill acquisition have taught targets in stimulus sets composed of different numbers of stimuli. Although the rationale for selection of a stimulus set size is not clear, the number of target stimuli trained within a set is a treatment decision for which there is limited empirical support. The current investigation compared the…

Wu, Wai-Ling; Lechago, Sarah A.; Rettig, Lisa A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
The purpose of the current study was to examine the effects of mand, tact, and native-to-foreign (NFI) and foreign-to-native (FNI) intraverbal training on the acquisition of a foreign language. We used a multiple-baseline design across participants with an embedded adapted alternating treatments design to compare the effects of mand training, tact…

Belisle, Jordan; Stanley, Caleb R.; Alholail, Amani M.; Galliford, Megan E.; Dixon, Mark R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
The present study evaluated the efficacy of a set of procedures for bringing tact extensions of abstract tactile properties under stimulus control. Two participants with disabilities who communicated via a picture-based communication system received reinforcement for tacts of tactile properties of four wet/dry and four hard/soft stimuli. Test…

Knutson, Sophie C.; Kodak, Tiffany; Costello, Dayna R.; Cliett, Terra – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
The current study extends the literature on task interspersal (TI) by comparing the effects of four different TI ratios on the efficiency of skill acquisition and on levels of problem behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder and related disorders. The four ratios of TI were 3:1, 1:1, 1:3, and 0:1 mastered-to-acquisition tasks. An adapted…

Cubicciotti, Julie E.; Vladescu, Jason C.; Reeve, Kenneth F.; Carroll, Regina A.; Schnell, Lauren K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Children with autism spectrum disorder are typically taught conditional discriminations using a match-to-sample arrangement. Consideration should be given to the temporal order in which antecedent stimuli (the sample and comparison stimuli) are presented during match-to-sample trials, as various arrangements have been used in the extant…

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,…

Peterson, Sean P.; Rodriguez, Nicole M.; Pawich, Tamara L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Despite its advantages, discrete-trial instruction (DTI) has been criticized for producing rote responding. Although there is little research supporting this claim, if true, this may be problematic given the propensity of children with autism to engage in restricted and repetitive behavior. One feature that is common in DTI that may contribute to…
