Meg Lipper; Leif K. Albright; Kenneth Reeve; Sharon Reeve; April Kisamore; Antonios Varelas – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2024
The present study evaluated the use of computerized equivalence-based instruction (EBI) to teach classes representing schedules of reinforcement to staff members. Four, 5-member classes representing fixed ratio, fixed interval, variable ratio, and variable interval schedules of reinforcement were taught. The participants were 16 staff members…

Vargo, Kristina K. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2020
Classroom teachers are responsible for providing high-quality instruction to multiple students simultaneously. When students engage in problem behaviors, instructional quality and instructional time may be negatively impacted. A multiple schedule of reinforcement is a behavioral intervention strategy that allows teachers to signal to students…

Nieto, Javier; Mason, Tere A.; Bernal-Gamboa, Rodolfo; Uengoer, Metin – Learning & Memory, 2020
In two instrumental conditioning experiments with rats, we examined the impacts of acquisition and extinction cues on ABC renewal of instrumental behavior. Animals were reinforced with food for lever pressing in one context, followed by extinction of the response in a second one. Presentations of a brief tone accompanied extinction in Experiment 1…

Ulum, Ömer Gökhan – Online Submission, 2020
In all educational levels, teachers assign their students with different activities to practice and reinforce what they have learnt. Further, assignments are valuable educational tools that raise students' consciousness as believed by teachers, parents, and authorities. It functions, in a sense, as a bridge between schools and homes. Assignments…

Dunbar, Julie M. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Individuals with developmental disabilities demonstrate deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that can include difficulty describing past events; accurate recall may be improved by learning to engage in precurrent, or problem solving, behavior. Visual imagining is a problem-solving strategy that involves seeing in the absence of the…

Maag, John W. – Beyond Behavior, 2019
Although the good behavior game (GBG) has a long empirical record for effectively decreasing inappropriate student behavior, there are fewer studies that have targeted improving appropriate behavior. This article describes why and how the GBG can be used by teachers across grade levels and situations to increase student appropriate behavior and…

Vassoyan, Jean; Vie, Jill-Jênn – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Adaptive learning is an area of educational technology that consists in delivering personalized learning experiences to address the unique needs of each learner. An important subfield of adaptive learning is learning path personalization: it aims at designing systems that recommend sequences of educational activities to maximize students' learning…

Todt, Mollie J.; Barton, Erin E.; Ledford, Jennifer R.; Robinson, Gabriela N.; Skiba, Emma B. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2023
Researchers have identified effective instructional strategies for teaching peer imitation, including embedded classroom-based interventions. However, there is a dearth of strategies that have been effective for teaching generalization of imitation skills to novel contexts. Building on previous research, we examined the use of progressive time…

Leaf, Justin B.; Cihon, Joseph H.; Ferguson, Julia L.; Milne, Christine; Leaf, Ronald; McEachin, John – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2023
To ensure the quality of training, skills developed and maintained, and expected standards for behavior analysts, several systems have been put into place across the years. Of these systems, perhaps the most widespread was the development of the Behavior Analyst Certification Board in 1998. Once all requirements are met, the final determinative…

Metcalfe, Janet; Kennedy-Pyers, Treva; Vuorre, Matti – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Past research has shown that when people are curious they are willing to wait to get an answer if the alternative is to not get the answer at all--a result that has been taken to mean that people valued the answers, and interpreted as supporting a reinforcement-learning (RL) view of curiosity. An alternative 'need for agency' view is forwarded…

MacLellan, Christopher J.; Gupta, Adit – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
There has been great progress towards Reinforcement Learning (RL) approaches that can achieve expert performance across a wide range of domains. However, researchers have not yet applied these models to learn expert models for educationally relevant tasks, such as those taught within tutoring systems and educational games. In this paper we explore…

Renata A. Mendes; Natalie J. Loxton; Jaimee Stuart; Alexander W. O'Donnell; Matthew J. Stainer – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
This research investigates the role of reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST) in statistics education among two distinct samples of undergraduate psychology students. In Study 1, 318 students in a third-year statistics course completed self-report measures of RST, anxiety, attitudes, and self-efficacy concerning the study of statistics. In Study…

María-del-Mar Romero-Alemán – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
The present retrospective, descriptive, and quasi-experimental study aimed to explore students' perceptions of traditional teaching combined with gamified and nongamified e-tests for postlecture reinforcement. Midterm knowledge retention and academic performance were also analyzed. The study was conducted from February 2021 to May 2022, involving…

Rebecca Gray; Deirdre M. Muldoon; Emily B. McCarthy – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: This study was conducted in a clinical setting with the aim of replicating previously used procedures for teaching receptive vocabulary. Researchers increased the number of vocabulary words and maintained use of match-to-sample (MtS), prompting, and reinforcement procedures. Researchers were also interested in the efficacy of…

Protopopova, Alexandra; Matter, Ashley L.; Harris, Breanna N.; Wiskow, Katie M.; Donaldson, Jeanne M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
This study compared contingent and noncontingent access to therapy dogs during educational tasks for children with autism spectrum disorder using a multielement design. The experimenters assessed whether initial preference for the dog predicted reinforcer efficacy and how preference changed across time. A higher response rate during contingent dog…
