A Functional Analysis on the Effects of an Observational Intervention using a Peer-Yoked Contingency Game Board on the Induction of Observational Performance, Observational Acquisition and Naming
… of this study was to test the effects of a peer-yoked contingency on the induction of observational performance, observational acquisition, and the Naming capability. In Experiment I, three male Kindergarten and first grade students diagnosed with disabilities were selected as target participants …

A Psychophysiological Assessment of the Efficacy of Event-Related Potentials and Electroencephalogram for Adaptive Task Allocation
… were randomly assigned to an experimental, yoked, or control group condition. Under the experimental condition, a compensatory tracking task was switched between manual and automatic task modes based upon the participant's EEG. ERPs were also gathered to an auditory, oddball task. …

Electrical stimulation of reward sites in the ventral tegmental area of the rat increases dopamine transmission in the nucleus accumbens as measured by in vivo microdialysis
… (ICSS). In the first experiment, both ICSS and yoked-stimulation of the VTA evoked significant increases in extracellular concentrations of DA, its metabolites, and 5-HIAA.Comparable results from ICSS and yoked groups were interpreted as evidence that the rewarding properties of VTA stimulation …

The generality of learned helplessness theory: effect of electroconvulsive shock
… assigned to one of three groups: escape, yoked-inescapable, and no shock control. Each rat in the escape group received 80 trials of unsignaled escapable shock. The escape group rats were required to perform a progressive fixed-ratio bar press to escape shock. The yoked-inescapable group …

The Effects of Hearsee/Say and Hearsee/Write on Acquisition, Generalization and Retention.
… study examines the effects of training in two yoked learning channels (hearsee/say and hearsee/write) on the acquisition, generalization and retention of learning. Four fifth-grade participants were taught the lower-case letters of the Greek alphabet. Twelve letters were taught in the …

Analyzing the Safety Effects of Edge Lane Roads for All Road Users
… employed to estimate the safety of ELRs: (a) yoked comparison where each ELR installation was matched with at least two comparable 2-lane roads to serve as comparison sites and (b) an Empirical Bayes (EB) before/after analysis for ELR sites where requisite data on AADT and other relevant …

Evaluating the role of frequency building on the establishment of an emergent decoding repertoire
… and practice-only conditions that were yoked for practice and reinforcement across participants. Participants were trained to engage in an arbitrary symbol-sound association task and tested to assess application, stability, and retention. Results indicated that practice produced an …

The Effects of Rate of Responding on Retention, Endurance, Stability, and Application of Performance on a Match-to-sample Task.
… responses in error correction procedures were yoked for individual participants across an Accuracy-plus-Rate training condition and an Accuracy-Only training condition. One participant scored better in tests that followed the Accuracy-Only condition. One participant showed results that slightly …

The relationship between representational, beat, and cohesive gestures and speech disfluency in the 2012 presidential debate
Hand gestures are yoked to speech in a highly-correlated system, often referred to as co-speech (Hostetter, 2011). Both disfluency and gesture have been show to influence audience reaction during political debates (e.g., Pennebaker, Mehl, & Niederhoffer, 2003). This study examined the relation …

An examination of the effects of accuracy+rate versus accuracy+observing response training methods on matching-to-sample performance.
… practice drills in accuracy-only conditions was yoked to total time spent in drills achieving rate aims in accuracy+rate (AR) conditions. One participant clearly demonstrated superior fluency outcomes after AR training while another displayed superior endurance and stability outcomes after such …

Vocal Variability in Autism Spectrum Disorders: Assessment and Intervention to Increase Novel Vocalizations in Non-Verbal Children
… delivered independent of variability (i.e., yoked control). Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

A behavioral intervention to reduce presurgical anxiety
… technique, and a pre-anesthetic interview. Two yoked, placebo control patients watched a 20-min video· tape about surgery, practiced recovery exercises, and made up stories from TAT cards. Self-report measures taken were the Hospital Stress Rating Scale, a recovery inventory, and postsurgical …

Imaginal flooding as a supplemental treatment for Vietnam veterans suffering re-experiencing stress
… Aged 33 to 40, they all suffered from PTSD. A yoked design was utilized in which one group (£;8) received a supplemental flooding treatment and the other (ns=8) did not. All subjects received standard hospital out patient treatment which generally consisted of both Vietnam Veteran group and …

Neurocorrelates of Character Choice in a Videogame Task
… were required to select the same character in a yoked fashion. Brain activity following success and failure was recorded with electroencephalography (EEG). Participants who were allowed to select their character reported greater autonomy, which predicted greater interest. Autonomy was predictive …

Time Estimation And Hand Preference
… intervals was randomized across participants but yoked across the sexes in each of the respective dominant hand groups. The two between-subject factors, with two levels each, were sex and handedness. Participants produced forty estimates at each of the required intervals, which was the first …

The Addicted Phenotype: Protein Phosphorylation Status and Dopamine Receptor Responsiveness
… were compared to changes produced by passive yoked injection to identify regulation related to the context of behavioral reinforcement, whereas acute and chronic yoked groups were compared to identify the development tolerance or sensitization in the biochemical response to cocaine. …

Investigating luteinizing hormone receptor signal transduction using the cyclic AMP reporter ICUE1
… active LH receptors, DNA of ICUEl and yoked LH receptor were co-transfected into CHO cells and expressed on the cell membrane. For the study of LH receptor trans-activation, CHO cells were developed using two plasmids encoding LH receptors with defects either in ligand binding or …

Comparing Force and Ratio Progressions from the Behavioral Economic Unit Price Equation
… consumption were observed across the force and yoked progressions, but deviations were noted. Convergence in consumption was assessed across several candidate alternatives to unit price, with the greatest convergence produced by measures of cumulative time integral of force per 0.05-ml unit of …

Fos induction within the ventral tegmental area following infusions of phencyclidine, MK-801, and nomifensine into the core and shell subterritories of the nucleus accumbens septi
… NAS core or shell; each animal's infusions were "yoked" to the rate and pattern of administration of a rat that had previously learned to lever-press for PCP infusions. The rats were sacrificed and their brains were processed for histological analysis of Fos-immunoreactivity 75 min after the first …
