The Effects of Question-Present Versus Item Present Conditions on Acquisition of Mands
… spectrum disorder often have difficulty learning mands and need supplemental training to learn this skill. The purpose of the present study was to extend the study by Bowen, Shillingsburg, and Carr (2012) and compare two mand training procedures to determine if a question-only or item-present …

Transfer of Mand Topographies to Tact Relations and Vice Versa in Two Vocal-Verbal Children with Autism
… suggested that verbal responses learned as mands are not necessarily emitted in tact relations and vice versa. Previous empirical research has found that newly acquired mands and tacts can be functionally independent. The present study investigated 1) whether novel responses taught in mand …

The Effects of the Social Listener Reinforcement Protocol on the Audience Control of Stereotypy and Social Operants for Students with Developmental Delays
… but few conversational units, sequelics, and mands were emitted with typically developing peers in the classroom. Participants also emitted low levels of correct choral responding during group instruction. Following the social listener reinforcement protocol all participants increased social …

Evaluation of three methods for teaching intraverbals to children with language delays
… development. Specifically, incorporating mands into the instructional arrangement, increasing the quality of reinforcement delivered for interspersed tasks, and including instructive feedback stimuli into the consequences of learning trials have all demonstrated more efficient learning of …

The Acquisition of Mand and Tact Responses
… responses corresponding to objects as requests (mands)or as labels (tacts). Responses in the untrained repertoire were also assessed. The results indicated that acquisition of a vocal mand repertoire facilitated acquisition of a vocal tact repertoire and vice versa. Implications concerning the …

Emergence of vocalization in non vocal children with a diagnosis of autism: building an evidence base for interventions
… emerged across various verbal operants such as mands, echoic mands, echoics and intraverbals. Motivating operations accounted for 65% of initial vocals however 27% first vocals also emerged as intraverbal fill-ins. Time to vocalization, type of vocal emergence and relative successes of the …

Manding in Children with Autism: Transfer of Control from Adults to Peers
… ASD can learn to transfer the skill of producing mands for familiar items from an adult to a typically developing peer. This study replicates previous research and extends it with three additional manipulations: (a) reduction of prompt dependence, (b) transfer of manding control from an adult to a …

Teaching children with autism spectrum disorder to mand for answers to questions via telehealth : a caregiver implementation.
… the most frequently used interventions to teach mands for information. However, no studies found were implemented by a caregiver or via telehealth. In the current study, we systematically replicated and extended the findings of Ingvarsson and Hollobough (2010) by having caregivers implement the …

Effects of behavioral skills training on learning opportunities among support staff in a preschool
… The children also emitted significantly more mands post-instruction. It was concluded that behavior skills training (BST) was effective and valid in increasing skills for the support staff and consequently increasing skills for the children. Support staff found the BST effective and valuable …

Functional and physiological discovery in the mannonate dehydratase subgroup of the enolase superfamily
… in the genome of organisms with high efficiency ManDs. Through in vitro characterization and in vivo verification, a high efficiency ManD was discovered in Caulobacter crescentus CB15 that fulfills the same physiological role as UxuA and is an example of convergent evolution. The genomes of …

The effects of skill-based procedures on decreasing problem behavior with a 12-year-old boy with autism
… showed that SIB was maintained by compliance to mands. Based on the results of the FA an intervention was constructed where the participant was first taught a simple functional communication response (FCR) and a tolerance response. The last step was a tolerance and denial training. In addition, …

Cooperative Strategies for Near-Optimal Computation in Wireless Networks
… wireless model, I characterize the resource de- mands of consensus with respect to three metrics: energy expended, time elapsed, and time-bandwidth product consumed. I show that existing con- sensus strategies, such as gossip algorithms, are nearly order optimal in the energy expended but …
