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…

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…

Yu-Ling Chen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
One of the characteristics of individuals on the autism spectrum is the restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviors, interests, or activities which have been considered the result of a direct deficit in self-regulation skills. Peer-mediated intervention (PMI) is one of the ways to support young children on the autism spectrum for following school…

Sara K. Snyder; Jessica L. Herrod; Erinn E. Whiteside; Kevin M. Ayres – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Functional communication training (FCT) provides an efficient means for reducing a variety of challenging behaviors while increasing social communication. After establishing a functional communication response (FCR), interventionists may need to design a program to thin the schedule of reinforcement to provide more durable effects and maintenance…

Marinda Raubenheimer; Salomé Geertsema; Mia Le Roux; Marien A. Graham – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2024
Vestibular input (VI) activities are linked with skill learning, engagement, and communication. This study investigated the influence of VI activities on the responses of non-verbal children with autism spectrum disorders (CWASD) when prompted to request a reinforcer using picture exchange communication. A single subject alternating treatment…

Jennifer J. Lanham – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation was designed to determine which behavior analytic intervention was more effective in the treatment and reduction of mouthing non-nutritive substances in children diagnosed with autism. This study included four participants in an A-B-A reversal design with a component analysis across four intervention phases. The study…

Nussenbaum, Kate; Velez, Juan A.; Washington, Bradli T.; Hamling, Hannah E.; Hartley, Catherine A. – Child Development, 2022
Optimal integration of positive and negative outcomes during learning varies depending on an environment's reward statistics. The present study investigated the extent to which children, adolescents, and adults (N = 142 8-25 year-olds, 55% female, 42% White, 31% Asian, 17% mixed race, and 8% Black; data collected in 2021) adapt their weighting of…

Pyles, Megan L.; Chastain, Amanda N.; Miguel, Caio F. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2021
The current study evaluated a procedure used to teach two children with autism to ask "why" questions maintained by causal information about an event. To increase the value of information as a reinforcer, the experimenter denied access to preferred items and did not provide a reason for the denial. Participants were taught to ask…

Ferguson, Julia L.; Milne, Christine M. – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2023
Leaf and colleagues (2016) provided a definition and description of progressive applied behavior analysis (ABA) in the context of autism treatment in which a behavior analyst takes a structured, yet flexible, approach to treatment that is responsive to the learner and includes on-going, in-the-moment analysis of teaching. Since Leaf and…

Lambert, Joseph M.; Houchins-Juárez, Nealetta J. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2020
During functional analysis (FA), therapists arrange contingencies between potential reinforcers and problem behavior. It is unclear whether this fact, in and of itself, facilitates problem behavior's acquisition of new (false-positive) functions. If problem behavior can come under the control of contingencies contrived between it and known…

Yuexin Zhang; Jinju Zhang; Jie Zhang; Margaret Sutherland; Siqi Huang – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2024
The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) has been widely used to teach functional requesting and commenting skills to children with autism spectrum disorder. Some researchers also modified the PECS to explore its effect on children with other disabilities. The main purpose of this study was to add tangible symbols to PECS (PECS-TS) in…
