The current study investigated the effects of a Speaker Immersion Protocol on the number of autoclitic mands and duration of tantrum behavior of two seven-year old males diagnosed with ASD. The time-delayed multiple baseline across participants design was used to analyze the relationship between dependent variables and independent variables. The dependent variables of this study were (a) the number of autoclitic mands emitted during both non-instructional and instructional settings and (b) the duration of tantrum behavior. Once a stable responding trend during the baseline was reached, the participants entered the Speaker Immersion Protocol where the experimenter presented frequent Establishing Operations (EO) so that the participants had to emit mands to engage in desired activity, or acquire a certain reinforcer. After the mastery of the Speaker Immersion Protocol, the post-intervention baseline sessions were conducted. Results showed that both participants’ autoclitic mands increased across both instructional and non-instructional settings. In addition, the duration of tantrum behavior decreased for both participants.
Abstract
The current study investigated the effects of a Speaker Immersion Protocol on the number of autoclitic mands and duration of tantrum behavior of two seven-year old males diagnosed with ASD. The time-delayed multiple baseline across participants design was used to analyze the relationship between dependent variables and independent variables. The dependent variables of this study were (a) the number of autoclitic mands emitted during both non-instructional and instructional settings and (b) the duration of tantrum behavior. Once a stable responding trend during the baseline was reached, the participants entered the Speaker Immersion Protocol where the experimenter presented frequent Establishing Operations (EO) so that the participants had to emit mands to engage in desired activity, or acquire a certain reinforcer. After the mastery of the Speaker Immersion Protocol, the post-intervention baseline sessions were conducted. Results showed that both participants’ autoclitic mands increased across both instructional and non-instructional settings. In addition, the duration of tantrum behavior decreased for both participants.
