Johnston, J. M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1991
Practitioners of applied behavior analysis need to create a model for developing and evaluating behavioral technology consistent with the approach of other natural sciences. The model should focus on developing an experimental literature that is comprehensive in both its attempt to understand target behaviors and its search for the how and why of…

Ryder, Joan M.; Redding, Richard E. – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1993
Discussion of instructional systems development (ISD) focuses on recent developments in cognitive task analysis and describes the Integrated Task Analysis Model, a framework for integrating cognitive and behavioral task analysis methods within the ISD model. Three components of expertise are analyzed: skills, knowledge, and mental models. (96…

Guess, Doug; And Others – Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), 1993
A review of research on state behavior among students with profound disabilities is presented, and a model depicting interactions of state with endogenous and exogenous variables is offered. Applications of the model are illustrated through four case studies displaying different state patterns. Measurable attributes of state having implications…

Hartup, Willard W. – Child Development, 1990
This editorial discusses the "Child Development" journal's 25 percent manuscript acceptance rate, the publishing of good papers, the absence of editorial bias in the journal, and the conservatism of scientific research. The increase in studies of adolescent development is noted. Editorial and writing standards are stressed. (BC)

Hermans, Hubert J. M.; Kempen, Harry J. G. – American Psychologist, 1998
Cultural differences in the form of dichotomous distinctions do not meet the challenge of globalization and its implications for a psychology of culture and self. An alternative approach that is sensitive to the process of cultural interchange, the cultural complexity of self and identity, and the experience of uncertainty is described. Contains…

Levin, Joel R.; Wampold, Bruce E. – School Psychology Quarterly, 1999
Presents a general class of single-case statistical procedures derived from previously developed nonparametric randomization tests. Designs are illustrated that focus on the general and comparative effectiveness of alternative interventions, multiple units with differentiable characteristics, and multiple outcome measures. Provides operational…

McGill, Peter – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1999
Evaluates the concept of "establishing operation" (EO) in the functional analysis of problem behavior in people with developmental disabilities. Suggestions for detecting "conditioned establishing operations" are offered. Also discusses the development of treatment strategies that seek to modify EOs, extinguish EOs, and modify…

Horner, Robert H. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2000
This discussion of positive behavior support for people with disabilities identifies four themes: (1) behavior support should reduce problem behavior and affect how a person lives; (2) functional assessment is the foundation for understanding patterns of problem behavior; (3) behavior support should be comprehensive in structure and scope; and (4)…

Tsien, Joe Z. – Scientific American, 2000
Describes a genetic engineering project to build an intelligent mouse. Cites understanding the molecular basis of learning and memory as a very important step. Concludes that while science will never create a genius mouse that plays the stock market, it can turn a mouse into a quick learner with a better memory. (YDS)

Buller, David B.; Borland, Ron; Burgoon, Michael – Human Communication Research, 1998
Tests predictions based on reactance theory, postdecisional regret, and language expectancy theory in a study altering logical style (inductive versus deductive) and language density in messages to parents advocating family sun safety. Finds influence of message varies by stage of progression to action, which has implications for tailoring health…

Iwata, Brian A.; Michael, Jack L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
This response to four papers on the nature of reinforcement focuses on the implications for application of theory to practice. The response addresses: reversibility of single-incentive selective associations; response deprivation, reinforcement, and economics; the substitutability of reinforcers; and delay reduction. (DB)

Green, Carolyn W.; Reid, Dennis H. – Behavior Modification, 1999
Indices of happiness and unhappiness were defined, and a corresponding observation system was developed and implemented with five students in an adult education classroom. Results indicate the definitions and the observation system reliably identified frequencies of happiness and/or unhappiness indices for each student across separate activities.…
