The study participants included three children with autism spectrum disorders who exhibited echolalic speech. The research design employed a multiple baseline across subjects design. The intervention consisted of two phases: in Phase 1, participants were taught to respond to cues with arrow visual supports for labeling, while in Phase 2, participants were taught to respond to cues using arrow motion cards as visual supports to understand and replace echolalic utterances with relevant responses. The results of the study indicated that the echolalia usage of all three children decreased during intervention and this reduction was maintained and generalized across sessions. These findings suggest that individual interventions utilizing visual arrow supports can be an effective method to reduce echolalia in children with autism spectrum disorders who are characterized as visual learners.","PeriodicalId":480760,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavior Analysis and Support","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A multiple baselines across participants with multiple probes design was used. Direct instruction on part of possible stimulus-response relations with the stimulus equivalence relations were delivered in order to establish reinforcement history within that relations. Probe for untaught stimulus-response within the stimulus equivalence relations, derived intraverbal and derived tact as Naming were conducted. The participant showed low level of correct derived responses with the equivalence relations. A MEI was implemented where the participant learned to respond within the equivalence relations a type of relational frame. The participants showed derived intraverbal and tact responses within the frame and generalized the responding to a novel set of stimuli. Possible source for inconsistent responding across stimuli were discussed in term of behavioral cusps and stimulus control.","PeriodicalId":480760,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavior Analysis and Support","volume":"56 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study utilized a comprehensive Delphi survey, consisting of 10 sections, 63 items, and 130 detailed items, constructed based on the analysis of ethical regulations from overseas behavior analysis associations and the human subject treatment experts training association. Furthermore, a second Delphi survey was carried out with 18 domestic behavioral analysis experts. Statistical analysis, including mean, standard deviation, and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) assessments, was performed on the survey data to determine the validity and consensus among the experts. The study resulted in the derivation of a comprehensive ethics code, consisting of 10 sections (complying with regulations, competency, privacy/confidentiality, service provision, customer responsibility and customer rights, personnel relations, supervision and training, record keeping and cost, public documents, research), 58 items, and 119 detained items. Based on the results of the study, the behavior analysis experts’ awareness of ethics code and the challenges and implications for field application of ethics code were discussed.","PeriodicalId":480760,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavior Analysis and Support","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
