Titre : Effect of choice of task sequence on responding Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sherry STAYER SMELTZER, Auteur ; William H. AHEARN, Auteur ; Richard B. GRAFF, Auteur ; Myrna E. LIBBY, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.734-742 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Choice-of-task On-task Problem-behavior Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Choice between alternative response options has received much attention in both basic and applied research. However, there is limited study on the effects of choice of task order on responding. This study examined the effect of choice of task order on on-task behavior, duration to complete the tasks, and problem behaviors in 2 children with autism and 1 child diagnosed with Fragile X syndrome. Low preference tasks were identified via a brief multiple-stimulus preference assessment without replacement (MSWO). These tasks were then presented to participants in a variety of conditions. Alternating treatments (with yoking) and concurrent operants phases were used to assess the effects of choice of task order. The results suggested that when given the opportunity to choose between two conditions (concurrent operants), participants preferred to choose the task order, and on-task behavior increased in 2 participants, duration to complete the tasks decreased for all participants, and rate of problem behaviors decreased to zero for 2 participants. During the concurrent operants assessment, the alternative associated with the opportunity to choose task order produced a higher percentage of on-task behavior, decreased duration to complete tasks, and decreased problem behavior.

Titre : Further evaluation of the effects of motivating operations on preference assessment outcomes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nick CHAPPELL, Auteur ; William H. AHEARN, Auteur ; Richard B. GRAFF, Auteur ; Myrna E. LIBBY, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.660-669 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Preference-assessment Motivating-operations Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The abative effects of a 10-min period of free access to a participant's most preferred edible on preference assessment outcomes was examined using a multielement design with three individuals diagnosed with autism. Four moderately preferred edible items were identified for each participant; access to these edibles was then regulated throughout the study, to control for the number of edibles consumed. Four-item paired stimulus preference assessments were then conducted, under four treatment conditions. A control condition, which involved conducting four-item paired stimulus assessments, was used to determine baseline levels of preference for each edible. Preference assessments conducted under the other three treatment conditions were preceded by a 10-min period of free access to the participant's most preferred edible. The immediate condition involved conducting preference assessments immediately following the 10-min free-access period. The 10-min delay condition and the 20-min delay condition involved conducting preference assessments following a 10-min or 20-min delay after the free access period. For two participants, 10-min of free access to a preferred edible immediately prior to a preference assessment altered the probability of selecting that stimulus, but as the delay between the free-access period and the preference assessment increased, the abative effects became less apparent. For the third participant, preference did not change when assessments were immediately conducted following the 10-min period of free access. Implications of the study are discussed.

LOCKLEY, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p.391-403 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Increased severity of problematic daytime behavior has been associated with poorer sleep quality in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. In this work, we investigate whether this relationship holds in a real?time setting, such that an individual's prior sleep can be used to predict their subsequent daytime behavior. We analyzed an extensive real?world dataset containing over 20,000 nightly sleep observations matched to subsequent challenging daytime behaviors (aggression, self?injury, tantrums, property destruction and a challenging behavior index) across 67 individuals with low?functioning autism living in two U.S. residential facilities. Using support vector machine classifiers, a statistically significant predictive relationship was found in 81% of individuals studied (P?0.05). For all five behaviors examined, prediction accuracy increased up to approximately eight nights of prior sleep used to make the prediction, indicating that the behavioral effects of sleep may manifest on extended timescales. Accurate prediction was most strongly driven by sleep variability measures, highlighting the importance of regular sleep patterns. Our findings constitute an initial step towards the development of a real?time monitoring tool to pre?empt behavioral episodes and guide prophylactic treatment for individuals with autism. Autism Res 2018, 11: 391–403. © 2017 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Lay Summary We analyzed over 20,000 nights of sleep from 67 individuals with autism to investigate whether daytime behaviors can be predicted from prior sleep patterns. Better?than?chance accuracy was obtained for 81% of individuals, with measures of night?to?night variation in sleep timing and duration most relevant for accurate prediction. Our results highlight the importance of regular sleep patterns for better daytime functioning and represent a step toward the development of ‘smart sleep technologies' to pre?empt behavior in individuals with autism.
