Titre : Assessing the relationship between intelligence and the PEAK relational training system Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mark R. DIXON, Auteur ; Seth W. WHITING, Auteur ; Kyle ROWSEY, Auteur ; Jordan BELISLY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1208-1213 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ABA therapy Intelligence quotient Language Verbal behavior therapy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The Promoting the Emergence of Advanced Knowledge (PEAK) Relational Training System is an assessment and curriculum tool developed for basic and advanced skills using behavior analytic approaches. 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.

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.

Titre : Normative sample of the PEAK relational training system: Direct training module and subsequent comparisons to individuals with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mark R. DIXON, Auteur ; Jordan BELISLE, Auteur ; Seth W. WHITING, Auteur ; Kyle E. 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.
