Parametric evaluation of procedural fidelity level with combined errors during differential reinforcement of other behavior
Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) is an intervention used to address challenging behavior; however, its effectiveness may be diminished by procedural fidelity errors. Previous research has shown that DRO effects may be r...

Social validity as an interactive process
Social validity in applied behavior analysis remains critically important. However, assessing social validity and responding to its results pose challenges for the field. Social validity assessments are often treated as a one‐time measur...

A clinical evaluation and validation of a competing stimulus assessment targeting excessive functional communication responses
Functional communication training (FCT) is a commonly used treatment for socially maintained challenging behavior. Although highly efficacious, increases in challenging behavior are often observed during schedule thinning within FCT. Pri...

Examining the effect of session duration on step count in the Step it UP ! Game
The Step it UP! Game, a modified version of the Good Behavior Game, has been implemented to increase physical activity levels among elementary school children and adults with disabilities. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate...

Further evaluation of the observer effect to train discrete‐trial instruction skills
This study extended prior observer‐effect training research by evaluating whether scoring video models improved procedural fidelity when implementing discrete‐trial instruction (DTI) with early intervention clients. Fifteen undergraduate...

Latency and persistence of renewal in an intensive outpatient clinic
Treatment durability can be compromised when challenging behavior recurs following context changes (i.e., renewal), yet the temporal features of lapses have not been well described in large clinical samples. We examined latency to onset ...

The effect of varied versus constant high‐probability instructional sequences on cooperation
We examined the effects of varied versus constant high‐probability (high‐p) instructional sequences on cooperation with a low‐probability (low‐p) task. Three children diagnosed with autism participated. We first conducted an instruction ...

Relations between heart rate and precursors: A replication and extension of prior research
Previous research on the relation between heart rate patterns and severe behavior has yielded mixed findings. Specifically, some studies have identified distinct heart rate patterns surrounding challenging behavior, whereas others have f...

Integrating five linear trend techniques into performance‐criteria‐based effect size measurements: Impressions and recommendations
Effect size measurements in single‐case experimental designs are essential for identifying evidence‐based practices; however, each effect size index has notable limitations. To address constraints of nonoverlap‐based indices, Aydin and T...

Functional analysis and treatment of higher level restricted repetitive behavior displayed by individuals with autism
To date, only one behavior analytic study has systematically examined the use of functional analysis to assess arranging and ordering, which is a form of higher level restricted and repetitive behavior (Rodriguez et al., 2012). The resea...
