Series Journal

Series Journal is where we delve into some insightful academic articles that have impacted my understanding of the various concepts. Each summary highlights important findings, methodologies, and implications of the studies, aiming to provide a concise overview.

Functional analyses of precursor behaviour

Experimenters aim to use functional analysis of precursor behaviours to design individualized intervention programs aimed at treating behaviours of concern. By targeting precursors, this approach avoids evoking behaviours of concern altogether.

Affirming Neurodiversity within Applied Behavior Analysis

Authors highlight five key criticisms of ABA raised by autistic self-advocates and suggest affirming neurodiversity within practices as a step toward addressing the concerns. The main goal of supporting autistic people should be to improve their quality of life instead of conforming them to neurotypical societal norms.

Comparing the reinforcing efficacy of tokens and primary reinforcers

Authors aimed to assess the reinforcing efficacy of conditioned reinforcers relative to their paired primary reinforcers by isolating the token condition from the primary reinforcer conditions. They achieved this by employing a translational approach to highlight the conditioned reinforcing effects of tokens.
