Welcome to Behavior Science.org

At Behavior Science.org our mission is to disseminate and advance the science of behavior by creating and providing access to comprehensive basic, applied, and theoretical resources for behavior analytic scientist practitioners. 

Our mission is achieved by utilizing technological advances to:

  • Develop new initiatives that contribute to the dissemination of behavior science world-wide and;
  • Create a behavior analytic network that facilitates the dissemination of already existing resources.

Behavior Science.org is currently involved in the development of several ongoing projects and we are always looking for newer and better ways to serve our mission.

Understanding the Standard Celeration Chart by Erick M. Dubuque, M.A., BCBA

The Standard Celeration Chart is arguably the most versatile and least understood measurement tool used in behavior analysis. Behavior analysts who understand how to interact with the chart are at a significant advantage over colleagues relying on non-standardized measures. The purpose of this two-part series is to introduce and familiarize you with the basic conventions used when interacting with the Chart. 
The Effects of Prompt Delay on the Verbal-Vocal Behavior of Children with Autism by Molly L. Dubuque, M.A., BCBA, LBA
 
Various teaching methods have been developed by behavior analysts that have helped decrease or eliminate behaviors associated with a diagnosis of autism in some children. Natural environment teaching is one method in particular that is valuable because it allows caregivers to use the natural environment as a context for teaching children new skills. A specific strategy used in natural environment teaching is known as time delay. This strategy has been shown to be especially useful for promoting spontaneous speech in children diagnosed with autism. The aim of the proposed research was to examine the effects of a training package composed of self-monitoring and feedback components on the frequency with which tutors in a home-based program use a time delay procedure to promote spontaneous speech in a child with autism. Results indicate that after exposure to the treatment package, tutors increased the frequency of time delay used within a session, which thereby increased the frequency of the child’s spontaneous speech and mean length of utterance.
