Contingency-based delay to reinforcement following functional communication training for autistic individuals: A multilevel meta-analysis / Reem MUHARIB in Autism, 26-4 (May 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-4 (May 2022) . - p.761-781 Titre : Contingency-based delay to reinforcement following functional communication training for autistic individuals: A multilevel meta-analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Reem MUHARIB, Auteur ; Art DOWDY, Auteur ; Adithyan RAJARAMAN, Auteur ; Joshua JESSEL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.761-781 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Behavior Therapy  Communication  Humans  Reinforcement Schedule  Reinforcement, Psychology  applied behavior analysis  challenging behavior  log response ratio  multilevel meta-analysis  reinforcement schedule thinning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Functional communication training, an intervention for challenging behavior rooted in principles of applied behavior analysis, has copious empirical support dating back to the mid-1980s for autistic individuals. Recently, there has been a concerted effort to thin reinforcement delivery during functional communication training using contingency-based delays that, in turn, are designed to enhance practicality and feasibility while not compromising efficacy. In this synthesis, we meta-analyzed the literature base with the goal of investigating both combined and across type effectiveness of contingency-based delays. We also aimed to investigate moderating variables that might impact intervention outcomes. Findings showed that contingency-based delays were effective for individuals with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and most effective when the delay incorporated some form of positive reinforcement. In addition, differential reinforcement of alternative-based delays was overall more effective when compared to differential reinforcement of other behavior-based delays. Noteworthy moderating variables found to impact contingency-based delay efficacy included the intervention dosage and the topography of behavior. We discuss these findings and highlight directions where additional empirical research is warranted to improve our understanding about contingency-based delays for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

Effects of Interventions Involving Tablet-Based Speech-Generating Devices for Individuals with ASD: A Meta-analysis / Reem MUHARIB in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 54-12 (December 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 54-12 (December 2024) . - p.4496-4514 Titre : Effects of Interventions Involving Tablet-Based Speech-Generating Devices for Individuals with ASD: A Meta-analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Reem MUHARIB, Auteur ; Virginia WALKER, Auteur ; Walker DUNN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4496-4514 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this review was to assess the effectiveness of tablet-based speech-generating devices (SGDs) in improving communication skills for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A total of 31 single-case design intervention studies involving 84 individuals with ASD were reviewed and included in the analysis. We calculated Tau-U to evaluate the impact of interventions involving tablet-based SGDs on four different communication responses: specifically, mands, intraverbals, tacts, and vocalizations. To explore potential moderating variables for mand outcomes, we used the Kruskal-Wallis one-way test. The analysis revealed that interventions utilizing tablet-based SGDs led to improvements in communication responses. Specifically, large to very large changes were observed in mand and intraverbal responses, whereas moderate changes were noted in tact responses and vocalizations. The findings of this review underscore the potential of tablet-based SGDs in enhancing communication among individuals with ASD. We discuss the findings and provide implications for future research and practice.

Effects of Multiple Schedules of Reinforcement on Appropriate Communication and Challenging Behaviors: A Meta-analysis / Reem MUHARIB in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-2 (February 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 51-2 (February 2021) . - p.613-631 Titre : Effects of Multiple Schedules of Reinforcement on Appropriate Communication and Challenging Behaviors: A Meta-analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Reem MUHARIB, Auteur ; Virginia L. WALKER, Auteur ; Fahad ALRESHEED, Auteur ; Stephanie GEROW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.613-631 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Challenging behavior  Communicative behavior  Developmental disabilities  Multiple schedules of reinforcement Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this review, we summarized and meta-analyzed 35 single-case intervention studies that involved the use of multiple schedules of reinforcement with 78 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Based on Tau-U calculations, multiple schedules of reinforcement produced an overall large effect for appropriate communicative behavior and an overall moderate effect for challenging behavior. To evaluate variability in study outcomes, we conducted moderator analyses across 21 variables using the Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA test. Our findings suggest that the use of response prompts significantly moderated the effects of multiple schedules of reinforcement for appropriate communicative behaviors. We discuss these findings and provide implications for future research and practice.
