Lambert, Joseph M.; Clohisy, Anne M.; Blair Barrows, S.; Houchins-Juarez, Nealetta J. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2017
Researchers have demonstrated for practitioners how to use multiple-schedules preparations to thin initially dense schedules of reinforcement during functional communication training, without sacrificing benefits associated with dense schedules of reinforcement for manding. However, special considerations may be required for practitioners to…

Mahoney, Amanda – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2017
Drug abstinence studies indicate that escalating reinforcement schedules maintain abstinence for longer periods than fixed reinforcement schedules. The current study evaluated whether escalating reinforcement schedules would maintain more quiz taking than fixed reinforcement schedules. During baseline and for the control group, bonus points were…

Gonzalez, Antonya M.; Steele, Jennifer R.; Baron, Andrew S. – Child Development, 2017
Studies with adults suggest that implicit preferences favoring White versus Black individuals can be reduced through exposure to positive Black exemplars. However, it remains unclear whether developmental differences exist in the capacity for these biases to be changed. This study included 369 children and examined whether their implicit racial…

Floress, Margaret T.; Jenkins, Lyndsay N.; Reinke, Wendy M.; McKown, Lorena – Grantee Submission, 2018
Many studies have demonstrated that when teachers are trained to increase their use of praise, student misbehavior improves; however, few studies have examined teachers' natural use of praise and no study has examined the relation between teachers' natural use of praise and classroom behavior. The purpose of the current study was to examine…

What Motivates Children to Respond? Functional Analysis and Intervention of Math Computation Fluency
Lark, Catherine Rose – ProQuest LLC, 2018
An abundance of research exists supporting the use of functional analyses to assess and treat problem behavior. In contrast, little research has been conducted on the application of functional analysis (FA) procedures to academic behaviors. The current study attempted to fill this research gap by conducting an FA of academic responding for five…
