Exploration of variables related to severe behavior treatment matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In Exploration of variables related to severe behavior treatment, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

The first describes the application of a differential reinforcement procedure to redirect ongoing episodes of behavior in order to avoid the necessity of restraint or timeout. The second explores an application of augmented competing stimulus assessments in informing treatment for higher-order repetitive behavior. The third examines the effects of contextual and arbitrary redirection in treating severely interfering stereotypy. The final study used a human-operant preparation to evaluate the impact of treatment fidelity errors on the effects FT and VT schedules in reducing behavior.
