Salivary cortisol and stereotypy in minimally verbal children with autism : a pilot study
(Springer, 2022-08-30)Several studies have reported conflicting results when assessing associations between stress and repetitive behaviors in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Some factors that may have caused these discrepant results include the monitoring ... -
Screening for psychological distress in healthcare workers using machine learning : a proof of concept
(Springer, 2023-11-16)The purpose of this study was to train and test preliminary models using two machine learning algorithms to identify healthcare workers at risk of developing anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The study included data from a ... -
Le sentiment de compétence : modérateur du lien entre le QI et le rendement scolaire en mathématiques
(2010)La présente étude a pour but de vérifier si le QI et le sentiment de compétence interagissent lorsque l’élève doit performer à l’école et si, en l’occurrence, cette interaction est à son tour modérée par l’âge et le sexe des participants. Afin de ... -
Serotonin transporter promoter methylation in peripheral cells and neural responses to negative stimuli : a study of adolescent monozygotic twins
(Springer Nature, 2018-08-08)Several studies have examined associations between peripheral DNA methylation patterns of the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) promoter and symptoms of depression and anxiety. The SLC6A4 promoter methylation has also been associated with frontal-limbic ... -
Social contagion and high school dropout : the role of friends, romantic partners, and siblings
(American Psychological Association, 2020-06-18)Social contagion theories suggest that adolescents in relationships with same-age high school dropouts should be at a greater risk of dropping out themselves. Yet, few studies have examined this premise, and none have considered all potentially influential ... -
Some characteristics and arguments in favor of a science of machine behavior analysis
(Springer, 2022-03-31)Researchers and practitioners recognize four domains of behavior analysis: radical behaviorism, the experimental analysis of behavior, applied behavior analysis, and the practice of behavior analysis. Given the omnipresence of technology in every sphere ... -
The spread of substance use and delinquency between adolescent twins
The spread of twin substance use and delinquency
(American Psychological Association, 2017-02)This investigation examines the spread of problem behaviors (substance use and delinquency) between twin siblings. A sample of 628 twins (151 male twin pairs and 163 female twin pairs) drawn from the Quebec Newborn Twin Study completed inventories ... -
Stressors and turning points in high school and dropout : a stress process, life course framework
(2015-12)High school dropout is commonly seen as the result of a long-term process of failure and disengagement. As useful as it is, this view has obscured the heterogeneity of pathways leading to dropout. Research suggests, for instance, that some students ... -
La synergologie, une lecture pseudoscientifique du langage corporel
Synergology, a pseudoscientific reading of body language
(Revue de psychoéducation (Université de Montréal. École de psychoéducation.), 2015-06)L’objectif du présent article est d’évaluer si la synergologie fait partie du domaine de la science ou si elle n’est qu’une pseudoscience du décodage du non-verbal. Le texte comprend cinq parties. Dans la première partie, nous décrivons des éléments ... -
Systematic observation of barroom incidents in a large Montreal venue
(2017-01-01)On the basis of previous studies by Macintyre and Homel and Winlow et al, this article utilizes systematic observation in order to describe and understand the pattern of incidents on a micro level – the barroom. Systematic observation combines ethnography ... -
Traité de pensée magique pour jeunes adolescents
Wishfull thinking : an instruction manual for teenagers
(Revue de psychoéducation (Université de Montréal. École de psychoéducation.), 2016-01)Au cours de ce texte, je présente d’abord le contenu du livre de Pierre Morency et de Valérie Fontaine, Demande et reçois, chapitre par chapitre. À l’aide d’une série d’affirmations fallacieuses, l’auteur tente de convaincre les jeunes adolescents ... -
Tutorial : applying machine learning in behavioral research
(Springer, 2020-11-10)Machine-learning algorithms hold promise for revolutionizing how educators and clinicians make decisions. However, researchers in behavior analysis have been slow to adopt this methodology to further develop their understanding of human behavior and ... -
Tutorial : artificial neural networks to analyze single-case experimental designs
(American Psychological Association, 2022-07-07)Since the start of the 21st century, few advances have had as far-reaching impact in science as the widespread adoption of artificial neural networks in fields as diverse as fundamental physics, clinical medicine, and psychology. In research methods, ... -
Twin classroom dilemma : to study together or separately?
(American Psychological Association, 2018-07)There is little research to date on the academic implications of teaching twins in the same or different classroom. Consequently, it is not clear whether twin classroom separation is associated with positive or negative educational outcomes. As a result, ... -
Twin’s birth-order differences in height and body mass index from birth to old age: a pooled study of 26 twin cohorts participated in the CODATwins project
(Australian Academic Press, 2016-04)We analyzed birth order differences in means and variances of height and body mass index (BMI) in monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins from infancy to old age. The data were derived from the international CODATwins database. The total number of ... -
Typologies of Canadian young adults who drive after cannabis use : a two-step cluster analysis
(Wiley, 2022-01-31)Young adults that drive after cannabis use (DACU) may not share all the same characteristics. This study aimed to iden-tify typologies of Canadians who engage in DACU. About 910 cannabis users with a driver's license (17–35years old) who have ... -
The use of restraint and seclusion in residential treatment care for youth : a systematic review of related factors and interventions
(SAGE, 2019-05-23)Children placed in residential treatment centers (RTCs) typically present challenging behavior including aggression. In this context, restraint and seclusion (R&S) are seen as “last resort” strategies for educators to manage youth aggression. The use ... -
Using a visual structured criterion for the analysis of alternating-treatment designs
Visual structured criterion
(SAGE, 2019-01)Although visual inspection remains common in the analysis of single-case designs, the lack of agreement between raters is an issue that may seriously compromise its validity. Thus, the purpose of our study was to develop and examine the properties ... -
Using AB designs with nonoverlap effect size measures to support clinical decision-making : a Monte Carlo validation
(SAGE, 2019-07-13)Single-case experimental designs often require extended baselines or the withdrawal of treatment, which may not be feasible or ethical in some practical settings. The quasi-experimental AB design is a potential alternative, but more research is needed ... -
Using ABC narrative recording to identify the function of problem behavior: a pilot study
(Elsevier, 2013)Many professionals report using ABC narrative recording to identify the function of problem behavior in children with developmental disabilities, but research has not established whether their analyses yield valid results. Thus, the purpose of this ...
