Effects of presession attention on the frequency of attention-maintained behavior.
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of prior attention was systematically manipulated to study its influence on rates of yelling and head hitting, both maintained by positive reinforcement in the form of attention. Higher levels of head hitting occurred in analogue attention conditions when the person was deprived of attention (no social interactions for 1 hr) prior to the analysis in comparison to when the person received high levels of attention (attention delivered on a fixed-time 30-s schedule for 1 hr) prior to the analysis.

The effects of presession attention on problem behavior maintained by different reinforcers.
The effect of presession attention on the later occurrence of problem behavior was examined with elementary-school children with a range of disabilities. Results of analogue functional analyses suggested an escape function, an attention function, or both. Following the analogue functional analyses, the effects of two antecedent conditions (10-min ignore vs. 10-min attention) were compared on pr...
متن کاملEffects of Presession Satiation on Challenging Behavior and Academic Engagement for Children with Autism during Classroom Instruction
We evaluated the effects of presession satiation on challenging behavior and academic engagement during subsequent classroom activities for three 5–6 year-old children with autism. The percentage of 10-s intervals with challenging behavior and academic engagement during 20-min classroom activity sessions was observed under two conditions. One condition involved presession satiation, in which pa...
متن کاملA paradoxical effect of presession attention on stereotypy: antecedent attention as an establishing, not an abolishing, operation.
Previous studies have shown that presession attention for problem behavior can serve as an abolishing operation when attention functions as a positive reinforcer. In the current study, we show that the stereotypy of a child with severe disabilities was undifferentiated during standard analogue functional analysis conditions. However, when noncontingent presession attention was provided, stereot...
متن کاملAbolishing and establishing operation analyses of social attention as positive reinforcement for problem behavior.
Three participants whose problem behavior was maintained by contingent attention were exposed to 45-min presessions in which attention was withheld, provided on a fixed-time (FT) 15-s schedule, or provided on an FT 120-s schedule. Following each presession, participants were then tested in a 15-min session similar to the social attention condition of an analogue functional analysis. The results...
متن کاملA systematic examination of different parameters of presession exposure to tangible stimuli that maintain problem behavior.
We examined the effects of three different presession conditions on tangibly maintained problem behavior for 2 students with autism, using individual-participant multielement designs. First, an analogue functional analysis demonstrated that problem behavior was maintained by access to tangible items. Next, topographies of item rejection were identified. Finally, students were exposed to (a) bri...
