Assessing the relationship between intelligence and the PEAK relational training system / Mark R. DIXON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-9 (September 2014)

The current study evaluated the relationship between intelligence (as measured by IQ scores) and performance on the PEAK assessment with children with autism or other developmental and intellectual disabilities. Each child was administered the PEAK assessment from the Direct Training Module. Scores from this assessment were compared to IQ scores for all participants to assess the relationship between the two measures. Results indicated a strong, significant correlation between scores on standardized IQ tests and scores on the PEAK assessment (r = .759, p lt; .01). The results demonstrated strong convergent validity and indicate that the PEAK may be a useful assessment and curriculum guide for training language and learning skills to individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities.

Correlation between PEAK relational training system and one-word picture vocabulary tests / Autumn MCKEEL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 12 (April 2015)

The current experiment evaluated the relationship between established measures of language skills (receptive and expressive one-word picture vocabulary test; ROWPVT-4 and EOWPVT-4, respectively) and a recently released assessment and curriculum tool designed to teach instructional skills using a behavior analytic approach (promoting the emergence of advanced knowledge relational training system; PEAK). Each participant was administered three assessments: The PEAK direct training module assessment, the ROWPVT-4 assessment, and the EOWPVT-4 assessment. Scores from all three assessments were compared to assess the relationship between each assessment. The results indicated both a strong correlation between the PEAK direct training module and commonly used language assessments (ROWPVT-4 and EOWPVT-4), as well as strong reliability in the administration of the assessments.

Derived emergence of WH question–answers in children with autism / Jacob H. DAAR in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 19 (November 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 19 (November 2015) . - p.59-71 Titre : Derived emergence of WH question–answers in children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jacob H. DAAR, Auteur ; Stephanie NEGRELLI, Auteur ; Mark R. DIXON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.59-71 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Equivalence  PEAK  Relational frame theory  Wh- questions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism spectrum disorder often struggle to respond to conversational questions involving words such as “who,” “what,” and “where.” One reason for this may be that answering these types of questions requires a repertoire of relational responding in which the individual must select an answer based on the class memberships of stimuli found in the question. For example, answering the question, “Who do you see at the hospital?” requires identifying a potential response that is in coordination with both “who” and “hospital,” e.g., a doctor. The present study sought to examine this premise by providing training designed to promote relational responding to community associations, associations of noun types, and associations between wh- words and noun types. Three participants diagnosed with autism, between the ages of 10 and 12, were exposed to a multi-phase relational training sequence designed to establish equivalence class membership between community helper stimuli, noun-class stimuli, and wh- word relations using protocols from the PEAK Relational Training System (Dixon, 2015. PEAK relational training system: Equivalence module. Shawnee Scientific Press: Carbondale, IL; Dixon, in press. PEAK relational training system: Transformation module. Shawnee Scientific Press: Carbondale, IL). A concurrent multiple baseline across skills and participants design was used to evaluate the functional relationship between the establishment of these relations and the emergence of correct responding to wh- questions. Results indicated that for two of the three participants, mastery of these relations was functionally related to the emergence of accurate responding to untrained intraverbal wh- questions.

Discounting of restraint usage, problem behavior management, and risk of autism severity / Mark R. DIXON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-10 (October 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-10 (October 2013) . - p.1211-1220 Titre : Discounting of restraint usage, problem behavior management, and risk of autism severity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mark R. DIXON, Auteur ; Seth W. WHITING, Auteur ; Jeffrey R. MILLER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1211-1220 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Delay discounting  Probability discounting  Physical restraint  Autism services  Birth risk Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study examined whether a history of experience with children with autism affected the rate of discounting of a delayed or probable consequence. Experiment 1 utilized a temporal discounting task to compare the discounting rates of adults who have worked in an autism service setting and have experience with physical restraints to that of adults who have little or no experience with these populations. The results showed that adults with a history of contact with autism made less optimal choices and discounted restraint responsibilities more steeply than adults with no such history, indicating increased avoidance of engaging in restraints. Experiment 2 investigated how the same groups discounted child problem behavior, and showed that those with experience with autism preferred to delay working with children with severe problem behavior and discounted the student's problem behavior more steeply, again demonstrating increased avoidance. Experiment 3 examined risk tendencies in relation to having children with diminished functioning in parents who have children with autism and those who have only worked with them. Results showed that parents made riskier choices than non-parents. Overall, all 3 experiments showed that those with increased experience with children with autism tended toward more impulsive and risky choices.

Normative sample of the PEAK relational training system: Direct training module and subsequent comparisons to individuals with autism / Mark R. DIXON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-11 (November 2014)

ROWSEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1597-1606 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : PEAK  Language  Cognition  Autism  Normative data Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The present data provide a normative sample of the PEAK: direct training module assessment and a subsequent comparison to individuals with autism. Altogether, 206 typically developing participants and 94 participants with autism took part in the study. For the normative sample, there was a strong relationship between PEAK total score and age (r = .659, p lt; .01), and a cubic regression provided a strong fit for the data (R2 = .821, t = 18.51, p lt; .01). The results from the autism sample suggest that there was no significant correlation between PEAK total score and age (r = .021, p = .861), and that PEAK total scores for the autism group were significantly lower than the normative sample (t(275) = 10.63, p lt; .001). The data suggest that PEAK may be especially useful as an assessment and curriculum guide for individuals with autism, and future research should be conducted on the increasingly complex topographies of human language and cognition that PEAK affords clinicians.
