Based on the following article:

Wilder, D., Allison, J., Nicholson, K., Abellton, O., Sauliner, R. (2010). Further evaluation of antecedent interventions on compliance: The effects of rationales to increase compliance among preschoolers. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 43, 601 - 613.

Please answer the following questions:

1. List some of the previous antecedent-based interventions that have been implemented to increase compliance that the authors discuss in the introduction.Which intervention do the authors state has been the most studied antecedent intervention for noncompliance?

2. How do the authors define a rationale? Now define a rationale in your own words. How do the authors hypothesize that rationales acquire antecedent control on compliance? Why do they refer to them as 'incomplete rules'?

3.. What was the purpose of the current study?

For Experiment 1:

4. Identify the following: participants, setting, response measurement/definitions, IOA procedures, procedural integrity procedures,

5. Describe the functional analysis conducted by the authors. Why did they conduct the FA?

6. Describe the intervention (rationales). Be sure to describe it in your own words but technologically.

7. Briefly explain the results

For Experiment 2:

8. What did they change between experiment 1 & experiment 2?

9. What were the results of experiment 2?

10. Name one extension the authors describe in the General Discussion.

11. Despite results that showed that rationales did not work, why is this research important?
