Prykanowski, Debra A.; Conroy, Maureen A.; Reichow, Brian – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2021
Functional communication training (FCT) is a common function-based intervention for young children with or at risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to teach an alternative communicative response to replace problem behavior. While FCT is effective in decreasing problem behavior, often the communicative behavior that is taught occurs at a higher…

Comparison of Tablet-Delivered and Instructor-Delivered Teaching on Receptive Identification in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Chebli, Sabine Saade; Lanovaz, Marc J.; Dufour, Marie-Michèle – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2019
The purpose of our study was to compare the effectiveness of tablet- and instructor-delivered teaching (i.e., prompting and reinforcement) on the receptive identification of one-word concepts in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). To this end, we embedded a multielement design within a multiple probe design to compare the effectiveness…

Students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have difficulties with verbal language. Many interventions to remediate such deficits require numerous materials and significant teacher time. This study sought to determine if a simple multi-component intervention that incorporated noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) and verbal modeling would result in…

The Effects of Presession Attention on Subsequent Attention-Extinction and Alone Conditions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
O'Reilly, Mark; Edrisinha, Chaturi; Sigafoos, Jeff; Lancioni, Giulio; Machalicek, Wendy; Antonucci, Massimo – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2007
We examined the effects of presession levels of attention (no attention vs. continuous attention) during subsequent alone and attention-extinction conditions for an individual with severe disabilities and problem behavior. A prior functional analysis indicated that attention was a primary maintaining variable for problem behavior. Experimental…

O'Reilly; Mark F.; Sigafoos, Jeff; Edrisinha, Chaturi; Lancioni, Giulio; Cannella, Helen; Choi, Ha Young; Barretto, Anjali – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2006
We attempted to isolate the evocative effects of the establishing operation for positively reinforced problem behavior with 2 participants. The study consisted of three phases. First, a functional analysis identified tangible items (Participant 1) and attention (Participant 2) as maintaining problem behavior. Second, access to tangible items and…
