“…We are somewhat limited in interpreting similarities in these outcomes with previous CBPD studies due to DRA‐ and DRO‐based thinning procedures often being combined into a single treatment package (e.g., Beaulieu et al, 2018; Hanley et al, 2014; Rose & Beaulieu, 2019) or evaluated individually without comparison (e.g., Boyle et al, 2020; Jessel et al, 2018b; Santiago et al, 2015). Ghaemmaghami et al (2016) included the only other comparative evaluation of CBPD procedures with a single participant, Will, and found that although both reduced problem behavior, the DRA‐based thinning procedure was more effective and improved contextually appropriate behavior.…”

Schedule thinning is an essential step in treating problem behavior, yet little research has been conducted to determine the method associated with sustained treatment effects. A frequently used method for thinning reinforcement is contingency‐based progressive delay, which requires the individual to meet some criteria before the reinforcers are returned. The response requirement could be dependent on (a) contextually appropriate behavior (differential reinforcement of alternative behavior‐based thinning) or (b) absence of problem behavior (differential reinforcement of other behavior‐based thinning). A translational arrangement with college students was implemented to determine the effects of these 2 response requirements. Tolerance was observed regardless of thinning method and was indicated by low rates of responding to the analogue problem behavior; however, more contextually appropriate behavior occurred during differential reinforcement of alternative behavior‐based thinning. These results support the use of response requirements for behaviors that are expected of the individual when reinforcement is not immediately forthcoming.

“…Our study departed from previous investigations of the IISCA in that we did not teach a functional communication response as an alternative to challenging behavior (cf. Jessel, Ingvarsson, Metras, Kirk, & Whipple, ; Jessel, Ingvarsson, Metras, Whipple, et al, ). However, the IISCA still allowed the experimenters to identify maintaining, functional reinforcers for both participants' transition refusal behavior.…”

Aquatic-based activities produce positive skill and health benefits for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); however, aquatic contexts, such as the pool, introduce the risk of injury and drowning. This risk is heightened when individuals with ASD engage in challenging behavior in the pool context. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of differential reinforcement without extinction for 2 participants diagnosed with ASD who engaged in challenging behavior when asked to transition from the pool. The treatment successfully decreased participants' transition latencies and challenging behavior during transitions from the pool for up to 2 months following treatment. Lifeguard staff rated the procedures as highly acceptable and helpful, and noted high degrees of satisfaction with improvements for each participant's behavior.

“…The full IISCA has been shown to be an efficient functional analysis format with large clinical case summaries reporting mean analysis durations of 25 min (Jessel et al, ) and 36 min (Jessel, Ingvarsson, Metras, et al, ). The current study improves on this analytic brevity by reducing the time further to only 5 min.…”

“…An important next step would be to conduct and report the entire assessment and treatment process across a large number of consecutive patients who experience this assessment and treatment process. This arrangement has been characterized as a consecutive case series design (Phillips, Iannaccone, Rooker, & Hagopian, ) and has already been shown to support the effectiveness and treatment utility of the full IISCA across child characteristics, contexts, and topographies of problem behavior for 25 consecutive participants (Jessel, Ingvarsson, Metras, et al, ).…”

“…Although treatments informed by the IISCA have been replicated and validated in similar studies (Ghaemmaghami, Hanley, & Jessel, ; Ghaemmaghami, Hanley, Jin, & Vanselow, ; Jessel, Ingvarsson, Metras, Whipple, Kirk, & Solsbery, ; Jessel, Ingvarsson, Kirk, Whipple, & Metras, ; Santiago, Hanley, Moore, & Jin, ), across multiple research groups (Chusid & Beaulieu, in press; Herman, Healy, & Lydon, ; Strand & Eldevik, ), and large‐scale consecutive controlled case studies (Jessel, Ingvarsson, Kirk, et al, ; Slaton, Hanley, & Raftery, ), the single‐session IISCA has only been suggested as a possible option during the reanalysis of the full IISCA format (Jessel et al, ). We conducted this study to determine if the single session IISCA could inform the effective function‐based treatment of three children who exhibit severe problem behavior.…”

Functional analysis can often be a lengthy process requiring time and resources not readily available to practitioners working with children who exhibit severe problem behavior.The interview-informed synthesized contingency analysis (IISCA) was recently developed as an alternative functional analysis format that improved analytic efficiency by requiring only 25 min to conduct. Furthermore, a within-session analysis of the first test session of the entire IISCA could reduce the process to as little as a single 5-min session. We extended this previous research by conducting what was termed the single-session IISCA with three boys who exhibited severe problem behavior. A function-based treatment package, including reinforcement thinning, informed by the results of the single-session IISCA nearly eliminated problem behavior for all three participants. We suggest that the single-session IISCA could be a viable alternative to other functional analysis formats when time is limited.

Its results then inform subsequent function-based treatment recommendations. Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, & Richman (1982/1994) designed one of the most replicated formats of functional analysis to determine the sensitivity of the self-injurious behavior (SIB) of nine individuals to common environmental
