Maximal inspiration training is recommended for pre-operative thoracotomy patients to promote smooth post-operative recovery. This study used a multiple baseline across subjects design to evaluate an inspiration training program. During baseline, the patients were taught how to use an incentive spirometer and to record the frequency and volume of their inspiratory exercises. In the first intervention phase, subjects were provided with graphic feedback for their exercise performance and, if they did more exercises than the previous day, verbal praise from the experimenter. Information about the role of training for post-operative recovery was provided to the subjects during a second intervention phase. Subjects were given a goal of doing at 20 exercises per day during baseline; the daily goal was raised to 50 in the first phase and to 80 in the second phase. Inspiratory volume increased over baseline levels for 14 of 19 subjects in the second phase, but 5 subjects who had rapidly increased their inspiratory volume in the baseline phase could not maintain the increase.

We studied the effect of training conversational expansions on conversational initiations in six adults with intellectual handicaps. Generalization was assessed in weekly probe sessions consisting of conversations with an unfamiliar person in a community setting. Results indicated that training for expansions was successful for all but one subject and that generalization of this skill increased for all those subjects who succeeded in training. The frequency of initiating conversations increased concurrently without any explicit training, indeed, initiations were ignored during training. In three cases inappropriate verbalizations decreased without explicit training, which might have been due to multiple contingency time constraints, but might also have resulted from an implicit extinction procedure. Based on these results and previous research it was suggested that the conversational expansions and initiations had formed a functional response class through their commonly occurring natural contingencies.

This study evaluated procedures for teaching shopping skills to a 14-year-old student with developmental disabilities. A general case analysis was conducted to identify the full range of stimulus variations and response requirements the student would encounter while shop-ping in the community. The student was first trained in vivo to purchase three items at a supermarket. Next, the student received a package of in vivo and simulation training. After the package training, the student's error rate during shopping decreased. Shopping skills were generalized to four novel supermarkets and one supermarket in community environment. Results indicated that a package of in vivo and simulation training contributed significantly to the acquisition and generalization of shopping skills.

DEAP (DEscriptor Analyzer Program) is a software program that analyzes the results of searches of the PsycLIT database. The program shows the frequency of descriptors in appropriate and inappropriate retrieval, and points out redundant descriptors. This information helps the researcher to refine and focus subsequent searches. DEAP was written in Perl, and can be used on MS-DOS, Macintosh OS, and Unix operating systems.

A Framework for Analysing and Changing Human Behavior

Six common sources of contingencies are suggested, to provide an overall framework for analysing behavior and taking account of the many variables which control human behavior. Controlling contingencies can be produced by the physical environment, by multiple contingency interactions, by meta-contingencies, by social behavior without a verbal community, by verbal communities, and through social rituals which reinforce behaviors that maintain the verbal communities. Different interventions are briefly suggested which are appropriate for each source of contingency. An example is given of how we might analyse smoking behavior and how smoking has been controlled by interventions appropriate to the six sources of control.
