  • Title: Assessment of mand selection for functional communication training packages.
    Author: Winborn L, Wacker DP, Richman DM, Asmus J, Geier D.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 2002; 35(3):295-8. PubMed ID: 12365744.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated the effects of training novel and existing mands during functional communication training (FCT) to decrease problem behavior for 2 children. A functional analysis (Phase 1) identified mands for FCT. Phase 2 used distinct stimulus conditions to train novel and existing mands. Phase 3 evaluated allocation of responding within a concurrent-schedules design. When reinforcement for either mand was concurrently available, the children used existing mands more than novel mands, but higher levels of problem behavior occurred with existing mands.
