TL;DR: Results showed the antecedent high-probability command sequence increased compliance and decreased compliance latency and task duration and "Momentum-like" effects were shown to be distinct from experimenter attention and to depend on the contiguity between the high- Probabilitycommand sequence and the low-proBability command.

TL;DR: Descriptive and experimental analyses of stereotypy by a woman with severe mental retardation showed that the behavior was maintained by escape from demands.

TL;DR: In an extension of choice research and Herrnstein's matching law to a more ecologically valid setting, college students were asked to work on a control mathematics assignment containing 16 three-digit by two-digit multiplication (3 × 2) problems and an experimental assignment that contained 16 equivalent 3 × 2 problems plus six interspersed 1 × 1 problems as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, alternating treatment designs are used to show how more precise measurement of instructional time can impact the assessment of relative learning rates when students are exposed to more than one intervention.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that speech output contributes to efficient spelling.
