Book Effects of Prompts Requiring Simple and Conditional Discriminative Control in the Acquisition of Conditional Discriminations

Download or read book Effects of Prompts Requiring Simple and Conditional Discriminative Control in the Acquisition of Conditional Discriminations written by Paula Ribeiro Braga-Kenyon and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Core skills for children in school require that they perform simple and conditional discrimination tasks. Simple and conditional discriminations can be taught using trial-and-error or errorless teaching procedures. The current study evaluated the use of two different errorless prompting procedures to teach conditional discriminations to typically developing children, and children diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Six typically developing children and two children diagnosed with an ASD were taught relations among arbitrary visual stimuli using a three-choice matching-to-sample procedure. All participants were exposed to two prompt conditions: the first required simple discriminative control (SD condition), and the second required conditional discriminative control (CD condition). During the SD condition, the sample and correct comparison stimuli were both presented in the same color (e.g., sample and correct comparison stimuli were red) and the other two comparison stimuli (S-) were black. During the CD condition, the three comparison stimuli were presented in different colors (e.g., red, green, and blue). The sample stimulus was always presented in the same color as the correct comparison. For both SD and CD conditions, the luminance of the color prompt was faded to black over five steps. Results indicated that 7 of 8 participants acquired the conditional discriminations quicker with the prompts requiring conditional discriminative control and thus were consistent with the task taught. One child diagnosed with ASD acquired the discriminations quicker with the prompt requiring simple discriminative control." -- Abstract, p.2.

Book Handbook of Early Intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorders

Download or read book Handbook of Early Intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Jonathan Tarbox and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current rates of autism diagnoses have been cause for concern and research as well as rumor and misinformation. Important questions surround the condition: how early can an accurate diagnosis be made? At what age should intervention start? How can parents recognize warning signs? And what causes autism in the first place? There are no easy answers, but the Handbook of Early Intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorders gives researchers, practitioners, and academics the science and guidance to better understand and intervene. Background chapters survey the history of professional understanding of the disorders and the ongoing debate over autism as a single entity or a continuum. Chapters on best methods in screening, assessment, and diagnosis reflect the transition between the DSM-V and older diagnostic criteria. And at the heart of the book, the intervention section ranges from evidence-based strategies for developing core skills to ethical concerns, cultural considerations, and controversial treatments. Included in the Handbook's broad-based coverage: Designing curriculum programs for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Mainstream education for children with ASD. Teaching independent living skills to children with ASD. Social skills and play. Behavioral and mental health disorders in children with ASD. Training and supporting caregivers in evidence-based practices. Teaching cognitive skills to children with ASD. The Handbook of Early Intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorders is a comprehensive reference for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians and other scientist-practitioners in clinical child and school psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, social work, rehabilitation, special education, and pediatric medicine.

Ce premier livre s'intéresse aux notions élémentaires de l'intervention, aux stratégies de transition des interventions, au processus d'apprentissage du jeune enfant, au langage, aux diverses stratégies visuelles, à des considérations pragmatiques (implication des parents, maintien des acquis) ainsi qu'à la structure de réalisation du processus d'intervention (aspects légaux, législation etc.).

Book Experimental Analysis of Behavior

Download or read book Experimental Analysis of Behavior written by I.H. Iversen and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is dedicated to the late B.F. Skinner as a tribute to his pioneering work on the Experimental Analysis of Behavior. This science that he initiated studies the behavior of individual organisms under laboratory conditions. The volume describes a broad collection of representative and effective research techniques in the Experimental Analysis of Behavior; techniques derived solely from infrahuman subjects, which have been selected both for their utility in behavior analysis and for their potential value in expanding the use of behavior analysis in the neurosciences. By bringing together under one cover the expertise of individual authors regarding techniques based on their particular laboratory experiences, the book provides an informative and practical source of methods and techniques for those practising or interested in Experimental Analysis of Behaviour.

Book Stimulus Class Formation in Humans and Animals

Download or read book Stimulus Class Formation in Humans and Animals written by T.R. Zentall and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-10-24 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stimulus class formation has been studied independently by two groups of researchers. One group has come out of a learning theory approach, while the second has developed out of a behavior analytic tradition. The purpose of the present volume is to further establish the ties between these two research areas while allowing for differences in approach to the questions asked. The book is loosely organized around four themes. The first two sections deal with what constitutes functional and equivalence classes in animals and humans. In the third section, the authors attempt to identify stimulus control variables that contribute to the formation of equivalences classes. The last section deals with the complex issue of the role of verbal behavior in equivalence classes. The goal of the book is to provide the reader with a better understanding of the current state of research and theory in stimulus class formation. It is also hoped that it will stimulate research into how and under what conditions, stimulus classes can form.
