Effect of Behavioral consultation on student and teacher Behavior
Journal of School Psychology, 1994Co-Authors: Robert M. Dunson, Jan N. Hughes, Tammy JacksonAbstract:Abstract This study investigated the effectiveness of Behavioral consultation in changing children's and teachers' Behaviors in consultation cases that involved children identified by teachers as manifesting symptoms characteristics of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder. Twenty teachers of inattentive and disruptive students were randomly assigned to Behavioral consultation or to a no-treatment control group. Dependent measures administered before and after treatment included Behavioral observations of teachers' and students' Behavior, teachers' ratings of students on a standardized measure of hyperactivity, and teachers' ratings of Target Behavior severity. Intervention effects were investigated with analyses of variance. Children who received consultation improved significantly more than students in the control group on the standardized measure of hyperactivity and on ratings of Target Behavior severity. A marginally significant intervention effect was found for students' Behaviors. Analyses of the relationship of teachers' characteristics and consultation outcomes found that teachers with higher teaching self-efficacy, defined as the teacher's perception of his or her ability to bring about positive changes in student learning or Behavior, tended to evaluate the consultation less positively. Teachers' evaluations of the consultant were positively correlated with the degree to which teachers implemented plans developed in consultation and with ratings of students' improvement. The results are discussed in relation to the limitations of the study and to their implications for consultation practice and research.

Estimation of Target Behavior Tendencies using Dezert-Smarandache Theory *
viXra, 2015Co-Authors: Albena Tchamova, Tzvetan Semerdjiev, Jean DezertAbstract:This paper presents an approach for tar- get Behavior tendency estimation (Receding, Approach- ing). It is developed on the principles of Dezert- Smarandache theory (DSmT) of plausible and para- doxical reasoning applied to conventional sonar ampli- tude measurements, which serve as an evidence for COT- responding decision-making procedures. In some real world situations it is dificult to finalize these proce- dures, because of discrepancies in measurements inter- pretation. In these cases the decision-making process leads to conflicts, which cannot be resolved using the well-know methods. The aim of the perjomed study is to present and to approve the ability of DSmT to fi- nalize successfully the decision-making process and to assure awareness about the tendencies of Target behav- ior in case of discrepancies in measurements interpre- tation. An example is provided to illustrate the bene- fit of the proposed approach application in comparison of fuzzy logic approach, and its ability to improve the overall tracking perfonnance.

Fuzzy Logic Approach to Estimating Tendencies in Target Behavior
Information & Security: An International Journal, 2002Co-Authors: Albena Tchamova, Tzvetan SemerdjievAbstract:1. IntroductionAngle-only tracking systems based on passive sensors are poorly developed due to anumber of complications. They receive signals transmitted from other emitters andtend to be less precise than those based on active sensors. However, one importantadvantage is their vitality of being stealth. In general, passive sensors make only line-of-sight angle detection. In the single sensor case that means that we know only direc-tion of the Target as an axis, but the true Target position and Behavior (approaching ordescending) remain unknown. The problem of determining an objects’ position with-out using measurements of the distance to it concerns moving platform applications,astronomy and some military situations, where it is important to estimate the position(respectively the distance to the object) and, in particular, the Behavior of moving tar-gets. In military avionics, for example, some fighter defending against a raid may wishto launch a missile as a counteraction to the enemy, but it could not do this until theposition and the Behavior of the opposing Target are not known. In such situations,the uncertainty with respect to the opposite Target Behavior requires to compensate themissing range by utilizing the extracted from the received emitter’s signal attributes.This information can be used to assess tendencies in Target’s Behavior and its locationand, consequently, to improve the overall angle-only tracking performance.The objective of this work is to present an approach for Target Behavior tendency esti-mation, basedon the applicationofthe principles offuzzylogic to conventionalpassiveradars. It utilizes themeasuredemitter’s amplitudevaluesin consecutivetime momentsand uses a set of particular filters design with respective set of possible Target Behaviormodels. In real world situations, fuzzy logic provides an approximate but consistentsolutions to complex engineering problems, where numerical data usually are noisyand incomplete, and the linguistic information is imprecise and vague.

Evaluation and Treatment of Socially Inappropriate Stereotypy
Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2013Co-Authors: Nicole Lustig, Joel E. Ringdahl, Gregory P. Breznican, Patrick W. Romani, Michael Scheib, Kelly M. VinquistAbstract:The purpose of this case example was to evaluate the use of differential reinforcement of other Behavior (DRO) for decreasing stereotypy maintained by automatic reinforcement exhibited by a 9 year-old girl diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder and an intellectual disability. The Target Behavior was a socially inappropriate form of stereotypy. The assessment and treatment consisted of four phases: (1) a competing items assessment, (2) an antecedent analysis, (3) a forced choice assessment, and (4) an evaluation of a DRO procedure. We provided access to a reinforcer contingent on the absence of stereotypy for a prespecified amount of time. The reinforcer was preferred and competed with stereotypy. Results demonstrated the DRO procedure to be effective in reducing stereotypy.

Choice as an Intervention to Improve Behavior: A Review of the Literature
Journal of Behavioral Education, 1998Co-Authors: Lee Kern, Joel E. Ringdahl, Christina M. Vorndran, Alexandra Hilt, Barry E. Adelman, Glen DunlapAbstract:In recent years, choice making has been evaluated as an intervention for people with disabilities. This review examines applied research during the past two decades using choice as a distinct intervention or as part of an intervention package. Fourteen studies published between 1975 and 1996 were identified that implemented choice as an intervention to increase or decrease a Target Behavior. These studies applied choice-making in the following three broad areas: (a) vocational or domestic activities; (b) academic activities; and (c) leisure, recreational, or social activities. All of the studies indicated that choice-making procedures resulted in Behavioral improvements with some, if not all of the participants.

Self-Monitoring Interventions for Students with ASD: a Meta-analysis of School-Based Research
Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016Co-Authors: John L. Davis, Benjamin A. Mason, Heather S. Davis, Rose A. Mason, Stephen A. CrutchfieldAbstract:The current study examines qualities of self-monitoring (SM) interventions for students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) within school settings. Despite substantial research supporting the use of SM in schools, there is currently a lack of consensus regarding the student-, intervention-, and setting-level variables that support the use of this intervention. The current study specifically examines characteristics of students with ASD that react favorably to the intervention, what procedures are necessary for implementation, and how settings within schools affect outcomes. Sixteen single subject studies were identified with 28 unique participants. Results indicate strong effects for students with ASD (overall Tau-U = .83 CI_95 [.78, .78]) across a variety of Behavioral Targets and school settings. In terms of implementation, the current analysis found that much of this interventions effects are based four key components (e.g., selecting a Target Behavior, defining the Target Behavior, self-assessment, and self-recording). In addition, preliminary evidence shows that higher levels of student involvement lead to stronger intervention effects.
