Agreement between visual inspection and objective analysis methods : a replication and extension
(Wiley, 2022-04-27)Behavior analysts typically rely on visual inspection of single-case experimental designs to make treatment decisions. However, visual inspection is subjective, which has led to the development of supplemental objective methods such as the conservative ... -
Waiting for baseline stability in single-case designs : is it worth the time and effort?
(Springer, 2022-04-25)Researchers and practitioners often use single-case designs (SCDs), or n-of-1 trials, to develop and validate novel treatments. Standards and guidelines have been published to provide guidance as to how to implement SCDs, but many of their recommendations ... -
Municipal regulation of cannabis and public health in Canada : a comparison of Alberta, Ontario, and Québec
(Wiley, 2022-04-25)Canada legalized nonmedical cannabis in October 2018, but significant variations in municipal regulations exist. This study explored the variations that exist and pondered their potential public health consequences. A comparative analysis was completed ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Concurrent validity of open-ended functional assessment interviews with functional analysis
(Wiley, 2021-12-22)Open-Ended Functional Assessment Interviews have limited empirical support for their concurrent validity with functional analysis. To address this issue, we conducted a study wherein 176 independent behavior analysts relied on data collected using ... -
Changes in autistic symptoms and adaptive functioning of children receiving early behavioral intervention in a community setting : a latent growth curve analysis
(Springer, 2021-11-23)Despite showing effects in well-controlled studies, the extent to which early intensive behavioral intervention (EBI) produces positive changes in community-based settings remains uncertain. Thus, our study examined changes in autistic symptoms and ... -
Risk factors associated with driving after cannabis use among Canadian young adults
(SAGE, 2021-10-11)This study identifid the most prominent risk factors associated with driving after cannabis use (DACU). 1,126 Canadian drivers (17–35 years old) who have used cannabis in the past 12 months completed an online questionnaire about sociodemographic ... -

(Routledge, 2021-09-05)In situations where the immediate safety of children or others is at risk, residential workers are authorized to use specific measures intended as last resort, namely restraint and seclusion (R&S). This study sought to identify and detail the reasons ... -
Machine learning to support visual inspection of data : a clinical application
(SAGE, 2021-08-12)Practitioners in pediatric feeding programs often rely on single-case experimental designs and visual inspection to make treatment decisions (e.g., whether to change or keep a treatment in place). However, researchers have shown that this practice ... -
Perceptions of behavior analysis in France : accuracy and tone of posts in an Internet forum on autism
(Springer, 2021-07-22)Applied behavior analysis (ABA), which is often used as the basis for designing interventions for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is highly misrepresented and underutilized in many countries. One country where ABA remains particularly ... -
Machine learning to analyze single-case graphs : a comparison to visual inspection
(Wiley, 2021-07-15)Behavior analysts commonly use visual inspection to analyze single-case graphs, but studies on its reliability have produced mixed results. To examine this issue, we compared the Type I error rate and power of visual inspection with a novel approach—machine ... -

(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 ... -
Worker and perceived team climate factors influence the use of restraint and seclusion in youth residential treatment centers : results from a mixed-method longitudinal study
(Elsevier, 2020-11-26)Background Restraint and seclusion (R&S) are controversial methods of intervention aimed at protecting children from immediate harm in residential treatment centers (RTC). Previous studies have mainly focused on situational factors and youth characteristics ... -
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 ... -
