Evaluation of resurgence following differential reinforcement of alternative behavior with and without extinction in a human-operant model
<p>Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) plus extinction for problem behavior is an evidence-based intervention for individuals diagnosed with autism. However, researchers have recently begun investigating DRA without extinction, given this treatment component may be unsafe or …

Use of noncontingent reinforcement with complimentary differential reinforcement of alternative behavior to address aggression in children with autism spectrum disorder
This study evaluated the effectiveness of noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) to reduce aggression in autistic children. The study also investigated how NCR may be effectively schedule thinned while still maintaining low levels of aggression. Aggression is a behavior that impacts approximately 53% of …

Training Individuals in Function-Based Behavior Intervention Plans Using Modeling, Rehearsal, and Self-Monitoring
Behavior intervention plans based on the function of problem behavior are more likely to be effective than non-function-based plans. However, plans developed by teachers often do not address behavior function. In addition to ensuring that teachers can write function-based behavior intervention …

Comparing The Relative Effectiveness Of Function-Based Antecedent And Reinforcement Interventions For Increasing Preschoolers’ Appropriate Behavior
… preschool students’ academically engaged behavior. Teachers were prompted through brief functional analysis procedures by the researcher. Brief functional analysis results informed two function-based interventions: an antecedent intervention - pre-session non-contingent reinforcement, and …

A Comparison of the Effects of a Function-Based Intervention to a Non-Function-Based Intervention to Address Problem Behaviors in Preschoolers
<p>Problem behaviors occur frequently among preschool children in classrooms, impeding academic development. Past methods employed for development of behavioral interventions include functional assessment and use of evidence-based practices. The current investigation sought to empirically compare …

Evaluation of Sequential Presentation without Extinction for the Treatment of Food Selectivity
