Yuan, Chengan; Deng, Xiaolei; Zhu, Jing; Wang, Chongying – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Instruction in auditory-visual conditional discriminations for young children with autism spectrum disorder is typically based on either a conditional-only or a simple-conditional method. In this study, we evaluated a modified simple-conditional method in which we removed the steps for which visual comparisons were presented in isolation. We…

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…

Slanzi, Crystal M.; Vollmer, Timothy R.; Iwata, Brian A.; Kronfli, Faris R.; Williams, Lisa Pabst; Perez, Brandon C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
A goal of some functional analysis (FA) variations is to reduce assessment time while still maintaining efficacy. This may be especially important when conducting FAs in early intervention programs, where time is a crucial commodity. To that end, we evaluated a model for using the results of the no-interaction condition as a screening for…

Jimenez-Gomez, Corina; Haggerty, Katherine; Topçuoglu, Basak – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Activity schedules consist of a series of visual discriminative stimuli, arranged in booklets or binders, which function as prompts for appropriate behavior. Although activity schedules are useful, their typical presentation in binders can be cumbersome and stigmatizing, placing additional barriers for independence and inclusion. The purpose of…

Gerow, Stephanie; Radhakrishnan, Supriya; Akers, Jessica S.; McGinnis, Kristina; Swensson, Remington – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder often display deficits in daily living skills. Behavior analysts can use telehealth, such as videoconferencing technology, to deliver interventions to families of these children. Given the COVID-19 pandemic and the common barriers to accessing behavioral interventions, it is imperative to evaluate the…

Jackson, Marianne L.; Nuñez, Rocio M.; Maraach, Dana; Wilhite, Chelsea J.; Moschella, Jp D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Various forms of humor are an important aspect of social interactions, even at an early age. Humor comprehension is a repertoire that is said to emerge between the ages of 7 and 11 years, and this is primarily attributed to a child's level of cognitive development. The behavioral literature has suggested that various forms of complex verbal…

Pisman, Maegan D.; Luczynski, Kevin C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder often require systematic teaching to learn new skills, and caregivers can teach their children by embedding learning opportunities in a play-based context. However, researchers have not evaluated procedures to train caregivers how to implement a combination of strategies designed to establish…

Vosters, Megan E.; Luczynski, Kevin C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Teaching procedures that facilitate the emergence of novel responses allow for increased efficiency, which is critical when providing early-intervention services to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Three 5- and 6-year-old children diagnosed with ASD participated. In Experiment 1, we demonstrated functional control over the effects of…

May, Richard; Chick, Joanna; Manuel, Samantha; Jones, Rachel – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
The present study evaluated the emergence of second-language intraverbals in typically developing young children following a small-group teaching intervention. Choral responding was employed with a group of 6 primary school children (5-6 years old) to teach first-language tacts (e.g., "What is this in English?" ["Hospital"])…

Shillingsburg, M. Alice; Marya, Videsha; Bartlett, Brittany L.; Thompson, Taylor M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Approximately 30% of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) fail to develop vocal communication and, therefore, use some form of augmentative or alternative communication system. The current study replicates and extends previous research on teaching "Who?" and "Which?" mands for information to 3 young…

Maxfield, Trevor C.; Miltenberger, Raymond G.; Novotny, Marissa A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
There is limited research using small-scale simulation in applied behavior analysis. We used small-scale simulation to train firearm safety skills to 3- to 5-year-old children and assessed whether the skills generalized to the natural environment through in situ assessment. Three participants completed the training, and all participants learned…

Lipschultz, Joshua L.; Wilder, David A.; Ertel, Hallie; Enderli, Amy – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
The high-probability (high-p) instructional sequence involves the delivery of a series of high-probability instructions immediately before delivery of a low-probability or target instruction. It has been shown to be efficacious for treating noncompliance among children and individuals with intellectual disabilities. Previous research (Esch &…

Schneider, Kiley A.; Devine, Bailey; Aguilar, Gabriella; Petursdottir, Anna Ingeborg – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Conflicting recommendations exist in the literature regarding the optimal order of stimulus presentation when teaching auditory-visual conditional discriminations. The present study examined the generality of a previously demonstrated advantage of presenting the auditory sample before visual comparisons (sample-first condition) over the reverse…

Borgen, John G.; Mace, F. Charles; Cavanaugh, Brenna M.; Shamlian, Kenneth; Lit, Keith R.; Wilson, Jillian B.; Trauschke, Stephanie L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
We evaluated a unique procedure to establish compliance with instructions in four young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who had low levels of compliance. Our procedure included methods to establish a novel therapist as a source of positive reinforcement, reliably evoke orienting responses to the therapist, increase the…

Garcia, David; Dukes, Charles; Brady, Michael P.; Scott, Jack; Wilson, Cynthia L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
We evaluated the efficacy of an instructional procedure to teach young children with autism to evacuate settings and notify an adult during a fire alarm. A multiple baseline design across children showed that an intervention that included modeling, rehearsal, and praise was effective in teaching fire safety skills. Safety skills generalized to…
