In Experiment 1, we showed that each participant\u2019s repetitive behavior persisted without social consequences. In Experiment 2, we used the FOCSA to identify high-preference, low-stereotypy (HP-LS) items for 11 participants and high-preference, high-stereotypy (HP-HS) items for nine participants. To validate the results of the FOCSAs (Experiment 3), we used a three-component multiple schedule to evaluate the immediate and subsequent effects of an HP-LS stimulus, an HP-HS stimulus, or both (in separate test sequences) on each participant\u2019s stereotypy. Results of Experiment 3 showed that the FOCSA correctly predicted the immediate effect of the HP-LS stimulus for 10 of 11 participants; however, the FOCSA predictions were less accurate for the HP-HS stimulus. Results of Experiment 4 showed that a differential reinforcement of other behavior procedure in which participants earned access to the HP-LS for omitting vocal stereotypy increased all five participants\u2019 latency to engaging in stereotypy; however, clinically significant omission durations were only achieved for one participant. Experiment 5 showed that differential reinforcement of alternative behavior in which participants earned access to the HP-LS stimulus contingent upon correct responses during discrete-trial training reduced targeted and nontargeted stereotypy and increased correct academic responding for all four participants. The potential utility of the FOCSA is discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0145445517741476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,25]],"date-time":"2017-11-25T06:31:42Z","timestamp":1511591502000},"page":"543-583","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Further Analysis of the Predictive Effects of a Free-Operant Competing Stimulus Assessment on Stereotypy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Kristen M.","family":"Brogan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Auburn University, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John T.","family":"Rapp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auburn University, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa A.","family":"Sennott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Cloud State University, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Cook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monarch House, Oakville, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erin","family":"Swinkels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monarch House, Oakville, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1901\/jaba.2005.36-04"},{"key":"bibr2-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0145445511415396"},{"key":"bibr3-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jaba.322"},{"key":"bibr4-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1901\/jaba.2000.33-353"},{"key":"bibr5-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jaba.118"},{"key":"bibr6-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40489-016-0069-x"},{"key":"bibr7-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bin.1478"},{"key":"bibr8-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bin.1378"},{"key":"bibr9-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rasd.2007.09.006"},{"key":"bibr10-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1901\/jaba.1996.29-519"},{"key":"bibr11-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bin.328"},{"key":"bibr12-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15021149.2016.1139776"},{"key":"bibr13-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0145445513514081"},{"key":"bibr14-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1901\/jaba.1992.25-491"},{"key":"bibr15-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0145445515593511"},{"key":"bibr16-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1901\/jaba.2000.33-507"},{"key":"bibr17-0145445517741476","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1901\/jaba.2011.44-211"},{"key":"bibr18-0145445517741476","volume-title":"Single-case research designs: Methods for clinical and applied settings","author":"Kazdin A.
