Abstract Ataxin 2 binding protein 1 ( A2BP1 aka FOX1 , RBFOX1 ) is an RNA responsible for regulation of pre‐mRNA splicing events in a number critical developmental genes expressed muscle, heart and neuronal cells [Shibata et al. (2000); Mamm Genome 12:595–601; Jin (2003); EMBO J 22:905–912; Underwood (2005); Mol Cell Biol 25:10005–10016]. Rare copy abnormalities have been previously associated with cognitive impairment, attention deficit disorder autism [Martin (2007); Am Med Gen Part B...
Problem behavior often has sensory consequences that cannot be separated from the target response, even if external, social reinforcers are removed during treatment. Because accompany socially mediated problem may contribute to persistence and relapse, research must develop analog can experimentally manipulated. In this research, we devised analogs in order control for their presence determine how impact treatment efficacy. Experiments 1 2 compared efficacy of differential reinforcement...
According to sensory integration (SI) theory, many symptoms of autism are caused by an inability integrate and adaptively respond input. Despite little evidence supporting SI, this form therapy is a popular treatment for children with autism. Should these treatments work, they should be most effective behavior maintained consequences (automatically maintained). SI activities may make less reinforcing. The purpose study was determine whether could reduce automatically‐maintained stereotypy....
Individuals with autism may engage in sexual behavior at inappropriate times and/or places. The current study investigated the effects of response interruption and redirection (RIRD) (RI) on public masturbation (PM) children adolescents autism. Initial assessments showed that PM was maintained by automatic reinforcement. During treatment evaluation phase, we compared RIRD RI to determine whether either procedure successful decreasing duration PM. In condition, contingent occurrence any...
Anxiety is a cluster of responses that can involve both operant and respondent behavior, which be public and/or private in nature, occurs when an upcoming aversive stimulus signaled. Despite the reported high comorbidity autism anxiety, there has been very limited research on how to directly assess treat especially with individuals who have communication skills. In Study 1, anxiety was assessed five autism, ranging age from 10 19 years old. by measuring behavior during (1) baseline (with no...
