Brief Report: Effects of Tact Training on Emergent Intraverbal Vocal Responses in Adolescents with Autism / Richard J. MAY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-4 (April 2013)

Participants were taught to tact the name of a cartoon character (e.g., “What is the name of this monster?” [“Simon”]) and that character’s preferred food (e.g., “What food does this monster eat?” [“Chips”]). Following tact training, test probes revealed the emergence of untrained vocal intraverbals. Specifically, in the absence of pictures, participants stated the name of the character when given the food preference (e.g., “Which monster eats chips?”), and stated the food when given the character name (e.g., “What food does Simon eat?”). The findings are discussed with reference to the growing literature on verbal behavior and derived relational responding.

Effects of a stimulus prompt display on therapists’ accuracy, rate, and variation of trial type delivery during discrete trial teaching / Richard J. MAY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-1 (January-March 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-1 (January-March 2011) . - p.305-316 Titre : Effects of a stimulus prompt display on therapists’ accuracy, rate, and variation of trial type delivery during discrete trial teaching Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Richard J.

Stimulus prompting procedures may facilitate the delivery of DTT for the broad range of competencies needed during therapy. In the present study, three experienced therapists were taught to deliver DTT with and without a stimulus prompt. A multiple baseline across participants with embedded reversal design was used to analyze performance during simulated teaching sessions. Results showed that all participants delivered both a higher rate of accurate trials and a greater variety of trials in sessions that incorporated stimulus prompting.

Facilitating derived requesting skills with a touchscreen tablet computer for children with autism spectrum disorder / Katharine STILL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 19 (November 2015)

Following formal language assessments and preference assessments, a multi-stage automated protocol was implemented on touchscreen tablet computers. Children were first taught to mand by picture exchange for missing items necessary to play with a toy and then learned to conditionally relate the dictated names of the items to the corresponding pictures of the items (A-B training) and to relate the dictated names to the corresponding printed words (A-C training). Test probes, in the absence of reinforcement, were presented to determine whether or not participants would mand for the missing items using text exchange (hence demonstrating derived manding/requesting). Probes for spontaneous matching (B-C and C-B) and labeling (B-A and C-A) were also presented in both experiments, one of which employed a pretest/posttest design and the other a multiple probe across participants design. Across both experiments, all but one of the participants showed evidence of derived requesting and derived stimulus relations. Implications for research on high-tech devices for facilitating independent communication skills of children with ASD and for derived relational responding approaches to verbal operants are discussed.

Facilitating requesting skills using high-tech augmentative and alternative communication devices with individuals with autism spectrum disorders: A systematic review / Katharine STILL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-9 (September 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-9 (September 2014) . - p.1184-1199 Titre : Facilitating requesting skills using high-tech augmentative and alternative communication devices with individuals with autism spectrum disorders: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katharine STILL, Auteur ; Ruth Anne REHFELDT, Auteur ; Robert WHELAN, Auteur ; Richard MAY, Auteur ; Simon DYMOND, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1184-1199 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Augmentative alternative communication devices  Requesting  High-tech  Technology  Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract We conducted a systematic review to identify research studies that utilised high-tech devices (e.g., smartphone technology) to teach functional requesting skills to individuals under the age of 16 with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We identified 16 studies that included a total of 46 participants. Speech generating devices were the most frequently employed mode of communication, the most frequently requested items were preferred food or toys, and the maximum number of target-requesting skills taught was eight. Research has tended to utilise the multiple baseline design or a variant thereof (e.g., a multiple-probe design). Overall, the intervention results were largely positive, suggesting that high-tech devices can be successfully implemented as augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices for individuals with autism. Further research is needed to evaluate the claims made about high-tech AAC devices in facilitating requesting skills in children with ASD.

Increasing compliance of children with autism: Effects of programmed reinforcement for high-probability requests and varied inter-instruction intervals / Laura PITTS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.135-143 Titre : Increasing compliance of children with autism: Effects of programmed reinforcement for high-probability requests and varied inter-instruction intervals Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Laura PITTS, Auteur ; Simon DYMOND, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.135-143 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Behavioral momentum  Compliance  High probability requests  Programmed reinforcement  Inter-instruction intervals  Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research on the high-probability (high-p) request sequence shows that compliance with low-probability (low-p) requests generally increases when preceded by a series of high-p requests. Few studies have conducted formal preference assessments to identify the consequences used for compliance, which may partly explain treatment failures, and still fewer have examined the impact of programmed reinforcement for compliance to high-p requests. The present study first investigated the effects of high-p request sequences, with and without programmed reinforcement, on compliance to low-p requests using a reversal design with three children with autism. Preferred stimuli were identified via formal reinforcer preference assessments, and compliance, latency to compliance, and task completion time were measured. Results demonstrated high-p request sequences were most effective in increasing compliance and reducing compliance latency and task completion time when implemented with programmed reinforcement. Generalization probes conducted with a second trainer indicated that compliance occurred for all but one of the participants’ low-p requests. The further effects of inter-instruction intervals (10 s and 5 s) were examined using a combined alternating treatments and reversal design with one participant. Results demonstrated high-p request sequences were most effective in increasing compliance when implemented with 5 s inter-instruction intervals and with programmed reinforcement.
