Koegel, Robert L.; Vernon, Ty W.; Koegel, Lynn K. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009

Therefore, a need exists for reliable data that can inform the field regarding the comprehensive…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Koegel, Robert L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1980
Investigated whether (1) a highly discriminable treatment procedure in one setting would produce a behavioral contrast effect in unmanipulated settings, and whether (2) such contrast-like trends could be eliminated if initially different reinforcement procedures in two settings were subsequently made similar.
