Program evaluation of a community organization offering supported employment services for adults with autism
(Elsevier, 2021-02-05)Background Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have an employment rate well below the general population. One potential solution to address this issue is the implementation of supported employment services. The purpose of our study was to ... -
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 ... -
Artificial intelligence for the measurement of vocal stereotypy
(Wiley, 2020-11-03)Both researchers and practitioners often rely on direct observation to measure and monitor behavior. When these behaviors are too complex or numerous to be measured in vivo, relying on direct observation using human observers increases the amount of ... -
Brief report : mobile technology to support parents in reducing stereotypy
(Springer, 2020-09-30)Although behavioral interventions have been known to efectively reduce stereotypy in children with ASD, these types of interventions are not accessible to all families. In response to this issue, we evaluated the efects of the iSTIM, an iOS application ... -
L’approche comportementale en psychoéducation

How many tiers do we need? Type I errors and power in multiple baseline designs
(Springer, 2020-07-29)Design quality guidelines typically recommend that multiple baseline designs include at least three demonstrations of effects. Despite its widespread adoption, this recommendation does not appear grounded in empirical evidence. The main purpose of ... -
Research on technological interventions for young children with autism spectrum disorders : a scoping review
(Springer, 2020-06-29)Researchers have widely reported using technological interventions to support young children with autism spectrum disorder. Given the abundance and diversity of research on the topic, the authors conducted a scoping review of 158 studies published from ... -
Effects of an interactive Web training to support parents in reducing challenging behaviors in children with autism
(SAGE, 2020-04-04)Many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) engage in challenging behaviors, which may interfere with their daily functioning, development, and well-being. To address this issue, we conducted a four-week randomized waitlist control trial to examine ... -
A comparison of video-based interventions to Ttach data entry to adults with intellectual disabilities : a replication and extension
Video-based interventions
(SAGE, 2020-03-31)Researchers have demonstrated that video-based interventions are effective at teaching a variety of skills to individuals with intellectual disabilities. To replicate and extend this line of research, we initially planned to compare the effects of video ... -
Machine learning to analyze single-case data : a proof of concept
(Springer, 2020)Visual analysis is the most commonly used method for interpreting data from singlecase designs, but levels of interrater agreement remain a concern. Although structured aids to visual analysis such as the dual-criteria (DC) method may increase ... -
Increasing compliance with wearing a medical device in children with autism
(Wiley, 2019-09-02)Health professionals often recommend the use of medical devices to assess the health, monitor the well-being, or improve the quality of life of their patients. Children with autism may present challenges in these situations as their sensory peculiarities ... -
Differential negative reinforcement of other behavior to increase compliance with wearing an anti-strip suit
Compliance with wearing a medical device
(Wiley, 2019-08-27)Using a changing-criterion design, we replicated and extended a study (Cook, Rapp, & Schulze, 2015) on differential negative reinforcement of other behavior (DNRO). More specifically, educational assistants implemented DNRO to teach a 12-year-old boy ... -
The CODAT wins project : the current status and recent findings of collaborative project of development of anthropometrical measures in twins
(2019-07-31)The COllaborative project of Development of Anthropometrical measures in Twins (CODATwins) project is a large international collaborative effort to analyze individual-level phenotype data from twins in multiple cohorts from different environments. The ... -
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 ... -
A comparison of communication tone and responding across users and developers in two R mailing lists
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-06-19)The R programming language has an active community of both users and developers, which maintain mailing lists to communicate. Given their differences in training and stability, the effects of communication tone on responding may differ across these ... -
Using differential reinforcement of high rates of behavior to improve work productivity : a replication and extension
Differential reinforcement of high rates of behavior to increase work productivity in adults with intellectual disability
(Wiley, 2019-04-30)Background: Due to deficits in adaptive and cognitive functioning, productivity may pose challenges for individuals with intellectual disability in the workplace.Method: Using a changing‐criterion embedded in a multiple baseline across partici‐pants ... -
The effect of contextual risk factors on the effectiveness of brief personality‐targeted interventions for adolescent alcohol use and misuse : a cluster‐randomized trial
(Wiley, 2019-03-13)Background A range of school‐based prevention programs has been developed and used to prevent, delay, or reduce alcohol use among adolescents. Most of these programs have been evaluated at the community‐level impact. However, the effect of contextual ... -
Genetic and environmental influences on developmental trajectories of adolescent alcohol use
(Springer, 2019-01-31)Adolescent alcohol use demonstrates distinct developmental trajectories with different times of onset, levels, and rates of growth. Twin research on adolescent alcohol use has shown that genetic influences are consistent with a gradual growth of ... -
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 ... -
Longitudinal links between gambling participation and academic performance in youth : a test of four models
Gambling participation and academic achievement
(Springer, 2018-09-30)Gambling participation and low academic performance are related during adolescence, but the causal mechanisms underlying this link are unclear. It is possible that gambling participation impairs academic performance. Alternatively, the link between ...
