This volume continues to document and summarize developments,
trends, and emergent interdisciplinary research in behavioral
psychopharmacology. For researchers and graduate students in
psychopharmacology, behavioral pharmacology, toxicology, and the
neurosciences. This seventh volume continues to document and
summarize developments, trends, and emergent interdisciplinary
research in behavioral psychopharmacology. For researchers and
graduate students in psychopharmacology, behavioral pharmacology,
toxicology, and the neurosciences. This is the latest volume in a
series that continues to document and summarize developments,
trends, and emergent interdisciplinary research in behavioral
pharmacology, psychopharmacology, and the neurosciences. The
chapters, written by authorities in their respective research
areas, provide up-to-date examination and analysis of dominant
evolving research areas.
Designed as a resource text for professionals, as well as a
supplementary text for upper level undergraduate and graduate
students of behavioral pharmacology, psychopharmacology,
psychobiology, and related fields, this book, like the others in
the "Advances in Behavioral Pharmacology Series," provides
comprehensive coverage unavailable elsewhere.
Originally published in 1986, this volume was the result of a
conference in honor of the 65th birthday of the late Kenneth
MacCorquodale, an exceptionally eloquent spokesman for the field of
experimental analysis of behaviour at the time. The present volume
grew directly out of the issues raised by MacCorquodale and Meehl
in their "Excursis: The Response Concept" paper and which
MacCorquodale posed so often when he taught. It is a fitting
tribute to the man on his 65th birthday that a group of scholars
whom he held in the highest regard convened in one place to think
out loud about two of the thorniest problems facing behavioral
science, namely, the nature of the units of analysis of the subject
matter and the mechanisms responsible for their integration.

Behavioral pharmacology represents a relatively recent scientific
enterprise, the development of which can be followed by plotting
the publication of major conceptual papers, review articles, and
books. Dews (1955), Sidman (1955), and Brady (1956) published some
of the first methodologically significant papers, changing the way
both psychologists and pharmacologists viewed the analysis of the
behavioral actions of drugs. Dews and Morse (1961), Cook and
Kelleher (1963), Gollub and Brady (1965), and Weiss and Laties
(1969) kept the field abreast of major developments in the study of
behavioral mechanisms of drug action. In 1968, the first textbook
in the field was published (Thompson and Schuster), followed by a
book of readings covering the preceding 15 years of the field
(Thompson, Pickens, and Meisch, 1970). The first attempt to outline
a set of generalizations concerning behavioral mechanisms of drug
actions was puhlished in 1968 by Kelleher and Morse. As behavioral
pharmacology developed, it became clear that demonstrations that
drugs affect hehavior were relatively uninteresting. It was the
mechanisms by which these effects are hrought about that was of
concern. While other aspects of pharmacology have been concerned
with biochemical, physiological, and in some cases biophysical
accounts of drug actions, behavioral pharmacology has dealt with
behavioral mechanisms . . . that is, "any verifiable description of
a drug's effects which can he shown to uniquely covary with a
specific measured 'response'. Generally, this relation can be
subsumed under some more general set of relations or principles"
(Thompson, Pickens, and Meisch, 1970, p. I).

Discrete trial instruction or naturalistic, incidental teaching:
How do you choose which approach to use with young children with
autism? Now there's no need to "pick a side"-this groundbreaking
book helps professionals skillfully blend the best of both
behavioral approaches to respond to each child's individual needs.
Developed by one of the nation's leading experts on autism, this
innovative, evidence-based guidebook cuts through the chaos of
conflicting information and gives readers a logical, child-centered
way to plan and implement intervention. Professionals will begin
with an in-depth guide to creating an autism intervention profile.
for each child, based on the type and severity of the child's
autism characteristics and common predictors of how the child will
respond to intervention (such as anxiety level, language, and
social interest). Once the profile is complete, readers will learn
how to match the child's individual characteristics and needs with
a specially tailored blend of DTI and naturalistic teaching. To
help them select and implement the right interventions for each
child, professionals will get more than a dozen practical tools,
including the Autism Intervention Responsiveness Scale, sample data
collection forms, schedules, intervention plans, and progress
reports. Readers will also learn from detailed before-and-after
case studies of five children with very different characteristics
and intervention needs. Through vivid accounts of their diverse
intervention plans and first-person stories from their parents,
readers will see exactly what individualized, child-centered
interventions look like and how they help children make
improvements in key areas (see below). A must for early childhood
educators and interventionists, this book will demystify competing
autism treatments and help readers create custom-tailored
interventions that really improve child outcomes. Develop
child-centered individualized interventions that help children:
join in play read nonverbal cues communicate more effectively
overcome social anxiety increase empathy
Applied behaviour analysis (ABA) is one of the most effective
interventions for children with autism spectrum disorders and other
disabilities. Now you can bring ABA best practices into any early
childhood setting with this book-your complete guide to using ABA
within everyday routines to support children's learning,
participation, and development. Ideal for use with children birth
to five, this practical, reader-friendly guidebook is the first to
combine ABA with natural environment intervention, the widely used,
research-supported approach to meeting the needs of children with
disabilities. You'll learn the fundamental principles and research
behind ABA and natural environment intervention, and you'll get one
clear and practical framework for conducting effective assessment
of behaviour, skills, routines, and caregiver priorities setting
meaningful goals that increase the child's active participation in
routines addressing the goals with tailored ABA teaching procedures
creating powerful intervention plans that support children in
specific developmental domains and routines selecting an
appropriate data collection method monitoring progress toward goals
and making adjustments as needed ensuring consistent implementation
of ABA interventions coaching other professionals and caregivers in
the ABA approach. To get you started with ABA, the book gives you
25 sample teaching plans that strengthen communication, social
interaction, positive behaviour, independent play and daily living
skills, cognitive skills, and participation in everyday routines.
Vivid, realistic case studies of diverse children walk you through
the ABA process from start to finish. And with the blank forms and
data sheets, you'll easily assess children's skills and
participation and monitor their progress toward goals. With this
comprehensive guide to a proven intervention approach, you'll help
young children with ASD and other disabilities make lasting
improvements and participate fully at home, at school, and in their
community.
This new autism book for parents provides a unique voice and
presents information in a smart and accessible manner. Unlike most
autism books, Dr. Thompson's ""Straight Talk on Autism"" is
authored by a professional who has extensive experience in the
field.Jargon-free explanations are given for stereotypical
behaviors in children with autism and helpful suggestions are made
to help curb them, or at least make life more livable. The author
provides activities, practical interventions, and techniques that
parents can do at home with their child. This book is unique among
many autism books on the market, as Thompson does not advocate a
particular approach, such as pivotal response treatment or applied
behavior analysis.Illustrations, case studies, and numerous
examples help make this book easy to read for any - one.
