Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) benefit from early intervention, specifically applied behavior analysis (ABA). ABA is often implemented by paraprofessionals who are known as registered behavior technicians (RBTs). For many years, educators have known the value of corrective feedback in relation to skill acquisition. In this…

Peer reviewedBall, Sarah; Feitsma, Joram – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2020
Background: 'Behavioural Insights' has emerged as an increasingly popular approach to policy making in governments across the globe. Practitioners largely present a frontstage narrative of Behavioural Insights as a coherent concept but this article challenges such a description. Aims & objectives: This article aims to explore the ongoing…

Silverman, Irwin W. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2020
Evolutionary theory and several lines of evidence suggest that the motive to establish positive relationships with others is stronger in females than males. Accordingly, it was predicted that in young children, girls would be more likely than boys to comply with their mothers' directives. To test this prediction, the present meta-analysis examined…

Jach, Elizabeth; Gloeckner, Gene; Kohashi, Colleen – Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, 2020
When conducting human subjects research, social and behavioral researchers seeking to study current issues involving immigrants, refugees, and undocumented students must submit their research to an institutional review board (IRB). Research applications proposing to enroll these populations lie outside the scope of vulnerable populations named in…

Goodhue, Rob J.; Liu, Szu Chi; Cihon, Traci M. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2019
The use of operant chambers for research and teaching in behavior analysis is in decline due to the expense, maintenance, and ethical considerations of such complex mechanical apparati (Venneman and Knowles in Teach Psychol 32(1):66-68, 2005. https://bibliotheek.ehb.be:2102/10.1207/s15328023top3201_13). Other technologies for testing and demonstrating behavioral…

Jones, Stephanie H.; St. Peter, Claire C.; Ruckle, Mary M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Describing demographic variables (e.g., ethnicity/race, socioeconomic status, gender/sex, age) of participants may be important for identifying relations between these variables and behavior-analytic procedures. Previous research found that demographic variables were underreported in behavior-analytic studies dealing with particular populations…

Krypotos, Angelos-Miltiadis; Moscarello, Justin M.; Sears, Robert M.; LeDoux, Joseph E.; Galatzer-Levy, Isaac – Learning & Memory, 2018
Signaled active avoidance (SigAA) is the key experimental procedure for studying the acquisition of instrumental responses toward conditioned threat cues. Traditional analytic approaches (e.g., general linear model) often obfuscate important individual differences, although individual differences in learned responses characterize both animal and…

There has been growing interest in using statistical methods to analyze data and estimate effect size indices from studies that use single-case designs (SCDs), as a complement to traditional visual inspection methods. The validity of a statistical method rests on whether its assumptions are plausible representations of the process by which the…

Dunlap, Glen; Kern, Lee – Behavioral Disorders, 2018
In the 25 years since the publication of the article reprinted in this issue of "Behavioral Disorders", a tremendous amount of research and opinion has been published on the topics of functional analysis, functional assessment, and assessment-based interventions. In this commentary, we reflect on the context in which our original work…

Bennett, Kevin L. – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2018
The Monty Hall Dilemma (MHD), made famous by the television game show Let's Make a Deal, can be an effective teaching tool with wide ranging behavioral science applications. The format and history of the problem are presented as well as experimental data and variations on the original design. Strategic game playing choices are discussed from…

Behavioral and social sciences randomized controlled trials (BSSTs) have a significant role in life sciences. Choosing an appropriate control or comparator group for BSSTs is critical, to provide true intervention effects. The objective of this study was to determine the types of control groups used in BSSTs, and the rationale provided to justify…

Weiss, Mary Jane – Education and Treatment of Children, 2018
The Scientist Practitioner model is a universal approach towards the education and preparation of doctoral students in psychology in general and behavior analysis in particular. Components of such an approach include a grounding in an empirical and scientific worldview, an investigatory approach towards the study of human behavior, training in…

McClure, Kelly S. – APA Books, 2020
Emerging researchers are often surprised to learn that instrument selection is a complex and important step in the process of research design. This concise guide explains how to identify appropriate instruments, select the best ones for the job, and properly describe the instruments so that others will know how and why they were chosen. Each…

Chen, Weiyu; Lan, Andrew S.; Cao, Da; Brinton, Christopher; Chiang, Mung – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
Knowledge of prerequisite dependencies is crucial to several aspects of learning, from the organization of learning content to the selection of personalized remediation or enrichment for each learner. As the amount of content is scaled up, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to manually specify all of the prerequisites among the different…

Johnson, Karen E.; Salas-Wright, Christopher P.; Córdova, David; Ugalde, Jenny; Todic, Jelena; Mendoza Lua, Frania – Journal of Adolescent Research, 2019
In this study, we explored Latinx adolescents' knowledge and perceptions of biobehavioral research and their willingness to participate in such studies. We conducted four focus groups in the summer of 2014 with Latinx adolescents in Texas between the ages of 12 and 17 years (n = 17; 53% male; M [subscript age] = 14.6 years [SD = 1.66]) who were…
