Since its first edition, An Introduction to Theories of Learning has provided a uniquely
sweeping review of the major learning theories from the 20th century that profoundly …

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 …

Functional communication training, an intervention for challenging behavior rooted in
principles of applied behavior analysis, has copious empirical support dating back to the mid …

Synchronous schedules of reinforcement are those in which the onset and offset of a
reinforcer are synchronized with the onset and offset of a target behavior. The current study …

Prior research has shown that bringing functional communication responses under the
discriminative control of schedule-correlated stimuli facilitates rapid reinforcement schedule …

We compared the functions of problem behavior identified by (a) a functional analysis
(FA),(b) an interview‐informed synthesized contingency analysis (IISCA) that was informed …

Recent research suggests that combining putative reinforcers for problem behavior into a
single, synthesized contingency may increase efficiency in identifying behavioral function …

Chained and tandem schedules are a common method for thinning schedules of
reinforcement following functional communication training (FCT) in the treatment of problem …

The purpose of this review is to summarize recent literature on the use of concurrent‐chains
arrangements in the assessment of preference for interventions (or intervention …

Programming dense schedules of potent reinforcers is typically needed to establish new
behavior and, in some cases, to continue suppressing maladaptive behavior. However, the …
