An Evaluation of the Effects of Fixed-Time Schedules on Response Maintenance
Response-independent schedules of reinforcement (e.g., fixed-time schedules) have typically been shown to decrease the rate of responding. However, researchers have suggested that responses may maintain under response-independent schedules, although it is currently unclear as to what mechanisms are …

The use of self-instruction with multiple exemplars to teach generalized problem-solving to individuals with severe mental retardation
… to produce a generalized problem-solving response. Specifically, four residents of a group home who had severe mental retardation were taught to use the problem-solving strategy to solve task-related problems. The combined strategy resulted in generalization to untrained problems, as well …

The Effects of Constant and Descending Criterion-Level Frequencies on Skill Acquisition Outcomes
… skill acquisition predict higher levels of response maintenance, but less is known about how many observations of high levels of performance are needed to produce this effect of criterion levels. Across two experiments, we analyzed multiple criterion-level frequency values, or the number of …
