Weeland, Joyce; Brummelman, Eddie; Jaffee, Sara R.; Chhangur, Rabia R.; van der Giessen, Danielle; Matthys, Walter; Orobio de Castro, Bram; Overbeek, Geertjan – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Caregivers are often encouraged to praise children to reduce externalizing behavior. Although several theoretical perspectives suggest that praise works (e.g., praise reinforces positive behavior), others suggest it may not (e.g., children dismiss praise or experience it as controlling). This longitudinal-observational study examined whether (a)…

Maki, E.; Shaw, S.; Putnam, R.; Harrington, E.; Schrieber, S. – Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, 2022
Students with disabilities benefit from positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS; Meyer et al., 2021). The use of school-wide and class-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) shows promise in helping educators to integrate evidence-based practices for the benefit of all students, including those diagnosed with…

Aparna Naresh – ProQuest LLC, 2022
For children with developmental or language delays, mand interventions have been identified as an integral part of educational programming (e.g., Greer & Ross, 2008; Shafer, 1994; Sundberg & Michael, 2001). Mands, which are the most elementary forms of verbal behavior, allow individuals to begin to contact social contractual contingencies;…

Yuan, Chengan; Hua, Youjia; Zhu, Jing – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Error correction is a ubiquitous instructional component for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In the context of alternating treatment with repeated acquisition design, we taught four young Chinese children with ASD three sets of a match-to-sample task using multiple response repetition error correction with and without reinforcement.…

Hoffmann, Audrey N.; Bogoev, Bistra K.; Callard, Chase H.; Sellers, Tyra P. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2019
The present study examined effects of providing varied reinforcement versus constant reinforcement using an iPad and applications (apps). Participants included three typically developing children in a school setting. We conducted a preference assessment to identify highly preferred and moderately preferred apps. We then conducted a concurrent…

Dal Ben, Rodrigo; Goyos, Celso – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2019
The form of a verbal response allows for reinforcement mediation and language transmission across cultures. Reinforcement, in turn, plays a decisive role in learning verbal forms. The present work addresses methodological limitations of previous studies, providing further evidence of the role of automatic reinforcement in achieving parity with…

Schieltz, Kelly M.; Wacker, David P.; Romani, Patrick W. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2017
We evaluated the effects of providing positive reinforcement for task completion, signaled via the presence of a tangible item, on escape-maintained problem behavior displayed by three typically developing children during one-time 90-min outpatient evaluations. Brief functional analyses of problem behavior, conducted within a multielement design,…

Sumter, Meagan E.; Gifford, Margaret R.; Tiger, Jeffrey H.; Effertz, Hannah M.; Fulton, Caitlin J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Functional Communication Training (FCT) involves arranging extinction for problem behavior and reinforcement for a more desirable, functionally equivalent, communicative response (FCR). Although effective under ideal arrangements, the introduction of delays to reinforcement following the FCR can result in increased problem behavior. Austin and…

Diaz de Villegas, Sara C.; Dozier, Claudia L.; Jess, Rachel L.; Foley, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
A synchronous-reinforcement schedule is a type of schedule of covariation in which the onset and offset of the reinforcer covaries with the onset and offset of behavior. This study was a proof-of-concept demonstration of the efficacy of synchronous reinforcement for on-task behavior (completing a preacademic skill) and an evaluation of…
