Moran P. Lee; Abubakir Siedahmed; Neil T. Heffernan – Grantee Submission, 2024
Contextual multi-armed bandits have previously been used to personalize student support messages given to learners by supplying a model with relevant context about the user, problem, and available student supports. In this work, we propose using careful feature selection with relevant domain knowledge to improve the quality of student support…

Meghan A. Deshais; Eliana M. Pizarro; Brandon C. Perez; Samuel L. Morris; Timothy R. Vollmer – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2024
The current study adds to a growing body of behavioral research aimed at learning about changes in behavior over time. In this proof-of-concept study, functional analyses were conducted every 6-8 weeks with eight children diagnosed with ASD receiving early intervention services at a community-based clinic. The goal of this study was to develop a…

Melissa Diane Lamson Kania – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Since the survey in 2015 conducted by the American Federation of Teachers about teacher mental health and well-being, teachers have been reporting higher rates of job-related stress. They have indicated that this stress often comes from poor administrative interactions, negative teacher perceptions, state mandates, staff shortages,…

Arbel, Yael; Fitzpatrick, Isabel; He, Xinyi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Intervention provided to school-age children with developmental language disorder often relies on the provision of performance feedback, yet it is unclear whether children with this disorder benefit from feedback-based learning. The study evaluates the effect of performance feedback on learning in children with developmental language…

Muharib, Reem; Walker, Virginia L.; Alresheed, Fahad; Gerow, Stephanie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
In this review, we summarized and meta-analyzed 35 single-case intervention studies that involved the use of multiple schedules of reinforcement with 78 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Based on Tau-U calculations, multiple schedules of reinforcement produced an overall large effect for appropriate communicative…

Harper, Amy M.; Dozier, Claudia L.; Briggs, Adam M.; de Villegas, Sara Diaz; Ackerlund Brandt, Julie A.; Jowett Hirst, Erica S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
It is unknown whether and to what extent common types of attention delivered in early childhood environments are preferred by and function as reinforcers for young children. We assessed children's preference for commonly delivered types of attention across 31 preschool-aged participants (Experiment 1). Next, we conducted a reinforcer assessment…

Fredericks, Brianne M.; Sng, Sylvia Sze Ya; Parry-Cruwys, Diana; MacDonald, Rebecca P. F. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of multiple exemplar training and social reinforcement on the maintenance and generalization of joint attention initiations across toy classes. Three children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) participated. After analyzing samples of joint attention initiations from neurotypical peers,…

Chapman, Jared R.; Kohler, Tanner B.; Gedeborg, Sam – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Research on gamification's effects in educational environments has been a growing domain in recent years. As research has demonstrated the power of gamified systems to effectively motivate learners in educational settings, it has also become clear that not all individuals are motivated in the same way, or to the same extent, by the same gamified…

Hayes, William M.; Wedell, Douglas H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
In reinforcement learning (RL) tasks, decision makers learn the values of actions in a context-dependent fashion. Although context dependence has many advantages, it can lead to suboptimal preferences when choice options are extrapolated beyond their original encoding contexts. Here, we tested whether we could manipulate context dependence in RL…

Kastner, Kendall M.; Tiger, Jeffrey H.; Gifford, Margaret R. – Education and Treatment of Children, 2023
As a treatment for escape-maintained problem behavior, differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) is typically initiated by reinforcing compliance on a dense reinforcement schedule. This work schedule is then progressively thinned such that the individual is required to complete more work, up to some socially acceptable terminal…

Madeline Cordle – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Disruptive behaviors are some of the most difficult behaviors for teachers to address in schools. They can take multiple forms in the classroom, and can impact the student displaying them, as well the rest of the learning environment in terms of academic engagement. Disruptive behaviors are believed to be displayed by students for the purpose of…

Tawater, Keri James – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This descriptive case study examined the perceptions of 6 beginning teachers regarding the supports offered to them during their 1st year of teaching. Based on purposeful and convenience sampling through administrative recommendations, the participants included 4 middle school 6th, 7th , and 8th grade teachers in their 2nd year of teaching. I…

LaBrot, Zachary C.; Johnson, Chelsea; Maxime, Emily; Cato, Terreca; Butt, Sarah; DeFouw, Emily R. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2023
Although behavior-specific praise (BSP) is a recommended practice for early childhood populations, early childhood educators often deliver variable rates of BSP. To support educators, face-to-face, school-based consultation may be provided; however, this may not always be feasible. To address this, emerging research is beginning to investigate the…

Emiel Schoneveld; Eddie Brummelman – npj Science of Learning, 2023
Can teachers' inflated praise make children from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds seem less smart? We conducted two preregistered experiments to address this question. We used hypothetical scenarios to ensure experimental control. An experiment with primary school teachers (N = 106, ages 21-63) showed that when a child from a low-SES…

Yasar C. Kakdas; Sinan Kockara; Tansel Halic; Doga Demirel – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
This article presents a 3-D medical simulation that employs reinforcement learning (RL) and interactive RL (IRL) to teach and assess the procedure of donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE). The simulation is motivated by the need for effective, safe, and remote training techniques in medicine, particularly in light of the COVID-19…
