1 Increasing Response Variability in Autism Research and Practice Ronald Lee, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LABA Agenda What is the clinical/applied problem? What is behavioral technology is in place to address that problem? What are the limitations? Considerations going forward. The Clinical Problem: Repetitiveness in ASD Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, or speech. Insistence on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines, or ritualized patterns of verbal or nonverbal behavior. Highly restricted, fixated interests preoccupation with unusual objects or perseverative interests James College 1
2 Current Behavioral Technology Language deficits verbal responses, communication Inappropriate/lack of varied play Play/recreational/social play skills Preoccupations with parts of objects/restricted patterns of interests. Redirection to/reinforcement of competing, incompatible, or alternative behavior Current Behavioral Technology Inflexible adherence to routines/rituals Graduated exposure Tolerating, accepting, compliance to changes in the environment Stereotyped/Repetitive motor mannerisms Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior James College 2
3 Programming for response variability. Skill acquisition. A diverse repertoire is necessary Is it sufficient? What if we get Repetitive forms of appropriate play? Repetitive use of appropriate sentences or social responses? Repetitive selection/choice of activities/reinforcers? Repetitive selection of a single, or few, sequences of activities? What might be expected from some of the most popular behavioral protocols? What might be expected from some of the most popular behavioral protocols? James College 3
4 Lessons learned. Readiness Instruction : Target Nontarget Reinforcement Correction Lessons learned. Instruction : Target Nontarget Reinforcement Correction Lessons learned Skill-building is a priority Acquisition techniques are effective. Response variability may be an indirect effect. Akin to a Teach and Hope perspective James College 4
5 Best Practices Skill acquisition. Expand reinforcers. Model a variety of responses. Prompt a variety of responses. Ask for varied responses. Program for response generalization. Response Generalization Instruction : Target1 Reinforcement Response Generalization Instruction : Target1 Collateral(2) Collateral(3) Collateral(4) Spread of effects James College 5
6 Response Generalization Instruction : Target1 Target2 Target3 Target4 Reinforcement Response Generalization Instruction : Target1 Target2 Target3 Target4 Collateral(5) Collateral(6) Collateral(7) Collateral(8) Increasing Response Variability. Program for response generalization. Teach a variety of responses to a antecedent stimulus (e.g., instruction, context ) Teach topographically similar responses Do not differentiate consequences James College 6
7 Programming for Response Generalization For response sequences, teach multiple combinations. "That's a" Toy Big Huge Large Big toy Block? Bottle Big bottle Huge toy Huge block?? Large block Large bottle Programming for Response Generalization Teach functionally equivalent responses; synonyms "That's a" Big = Huge = Large Toy Big toy?? Block? Huge block Bottle??? Large bottle Increasing Response Variability Skill acquisition. Expand reinforcers. Model, Prompt, Ask for a variety of responses. Program for response generalization. Matrix Training Teach to fluency James College 7
8 Rate of Responding/hour Teach to fluency Fluency = Rate or responding & Accuracy RESAA Retention, Endurance, Stability, Application Adduction The performance of previously learned skills in never before performed combinations. E.g., component motor skills Creative problem-solving Increasing Response Variability Skill acquisition. Expand reinforcers. Model, Prompt, Ask for a variety of responses. Program for response generalization. Matrix Training Teach to Fluency Direct reinforcement of response variabililty Reinforcement produces Stereotypy 80 Baseline Reinforcement Reinforced Not Reinforced1 20 Not Reinforced Sessions James College 8
9 Defining Response Variability Something new Never seen before; Novelty Something different From recent behavior. The First Instance of Response Variability Understanding human behavior Do something. If successful, do more of it. If at first you don t succeed, try again. If that doesn t work, try something else. Extinction-induced variability Differential reinforcement of novel forms. R 1 R 1 R new (2) R 1, 2 R new (3) S R EXT S R EXT S R James College 9
10 Reinforcement Procedures Differential Reinforcement of Novel Forms Page & Neuringer (1985) Sequence variability Goetz & Baer (1973) prek blockbuilding forms Lalli, Zanolli, & Wohn (1994) toy play Duker & van Lent (1991) communicative gestures Might not be a desirable contingency Differential Reinforcement of nonrecent behavior. Lag x reinforcement schedule Also, Lookback schedule X = scope of the lookback ; The number of previous responses/trials to compare the current response to. e.g., Lee, McComas, & Jawor (2002); Lee & Sturmey (2006); Lee (2014) Lag x reinforcement James College 10
11 Lag x reinforcement Lag x reinforcement Conclusions Our Technology (some of it ) Skill acquisition. Expand reinforcers. Model, Prompt, Ask for a variety of responses. Program for response generalization Matrix Training Teach to Fluency Direct reinforcement of response variability There s more Equivalence-training Pivotal Response Training James College 11
12 Future Directions Social validity, social validity, & more social validity. Generalization & maintenance of effects. Best practices for teaching technologies. A functional analysis of creativity. James College 12
