ENHANCING FREQUENCY RECORDING BY DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES TREATMENT STAFF
We evaluated a staff training and management package for increasing accuracy of recording frequency of problem behavior in a residential care facility. A multiple baseline design across the first and second work shifts showed that 2 of 8 participants increased their accuracy following in‐service training, and all 8 improved during a condition with supervisor presence and feedback. Improvements were maintained when feedback was removed and generalized to activity periods when neither supervisor presence nor feedback was provided. Other staff behavior was not adversely affected by the intervention package.

Effects of Guided Notes on University Students' Responding and Recall of Information
The present study assessed the effects of guided notes on student responding and accuracy of recall of lecture material in an undergraduate psychology class using multi-element design. Guided notes were administered for approximately half of the class sessions on a random schedule. Data were collected on the frequency of student responses and daily quizzes were administered to assess accuracy of recall of information presented in the lecture. Results indicated higher mean quiz scores and response frequencies during the guided notes condition. Social validity questionnaires administered to participants revealed satisfaction with results and procedures.

EFFECTS OF TRAINING, PROMPTING, AND SELF‐MONITORING ON STAFF BEHAVIOR IN A CLASSROOM FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
This study extended the limited research on the utility of tactile prompts and examined the effects of a treatment package on implementation of a token economy by instructional assistants in a classroom for students with disabilities. During baseline, we measured how accurately the assistants implemented a classroom token economy based on the routine training they had received through the school system. Baseline was followed by brief in‐service training, which resulted in no improvement of token‐economy implementation for recently hired instructional assistants. A treatment package of prompting and self‐monitoring with accuracy feedback was then introduced as a multiple baseline design across behaviors. The treatment package was successfully faded to a more manageable self‐monitoring intervention. Results showed visually significant improvements for all participants during observation sessions.

AN ANALYSIS OF A CONTINGENCY PROGRAM ON DESIGNATED DRIVERS AT A COLLEGE BAR
The present study evaluated the effects of prompts and incentives on designated drivers in a bar. We defined the dependent variable as the percentage of customers either functioning as or riding with a designated driver. We used an ABCA design to evaluate the effectiveness of prompts and incentives on the dependent variable. Results indicated that the intervention was successful at increasing the ratio of safe to unsafe passengers in a bar.

Using Feedback and Reinforcement to Improve the Performance and Safety of a Roofing Crew
Two studies were conducted to examine effects of feedback and reinforcement on labor cost and safety behavior among roofers. Participating roofers, or subjects, belonged to one roofing crew. They were employed by a roofing company in a mid-sized southern city. Each day subjects received graphic and verbal feedback on their previous day's performance with respect to a specified goal. Tangible reinforcers were delivered on the days following goal attainment. During the first study, the crew received a monetary reinforcer based on labor savings (i.e., the difference between actual and estimated labor costs) at the end of each week. During the first study, introduction of daily feedback and weekly monetary reinforcers were associated with a 64% labor cost reduction compared to pre-intervention conditions under which workers were paid an hourly wage only. The second study describes a simple, yet reliable, safety checklist used to measure safety behavior among the same roofing crew members described in the first study. During this intervention the crew received daily feedback regarding their safety performance and earned time off if they reached and/or exceeded 80% compliance with items completed on the checklist. The crew improved from average baseline safety compliance levels of 51% on
