Rachel H. Thompson

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Developmental psychology
• Social psychology
• Reinforcement

Rachel H. Thompson spends much of her time researching Functional analysis, Reinforcement, Developmental psychology, Extinction and Self-destructive behavior. Her study focuses on the intersection of Functional analysis and fields such as Set with connections in the field of Visual inspection and Reliability. Much of her study explores Reinforcement relationship to Treatment outcome.

Rachel H. Thompson is involved in the study of Developmental psychology that focuses on Aggression in particular. Her work focuses on many connections between Aggression and other disciplines, such as Developmental disorder, that overlap with her field of interest in Descriptive statistics. Her studies in Extinction integrate themes in fields like Functional Communication, Cognitive psychology and Operant conditioning.

Her most cited work include:

• REINFORCEMENT SCHEDULE THINNING FOLLOWING TREATMENT WITH FUNCTIONAL COMMUNICATION TRAINING (206 citations)
• Skill acquisition in the implementation of functional analysis methodology. (205 citations)
• TOWARD THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRUCTURED CRITERIA FOR INTERPRETATION OF FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS DATA (162 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her primary scientific interests are in Developmental psychology, Reinforcement, Functional analysis, Extinction and Autism. The Punishment research Rachel H. Thompson does as part of her general Developmental psychology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Psychological intervention, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Her Reinforcement study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Behavior disorder and Crying.

Rachel H. Thompson has researched Functional analysis in several fields, including Behavioral assessment, Cognitive psychology and Aggression. Her Extinction study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Functional Communication, Motivating operation, Operant conditioning and Behavior change. Her work in the fields of Autism, such as Autism spectrum disorder and Repetitive behavior, overlaps with other areas such as Motor Stereotypy.

She most often published in these fields:

• Developmental psychology (78.12%)
• Reinforcement (59.38%)
• Functional analysis (28.12%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

• Developmental psychology (78.12%)
• Autism (18.75%)
• Psychological intervention (12.50%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Rachel H. Thompson focuses on Developmental psychology, Autism, Psychological intervention, Social psychology and Social skills. Her Developmental psychology research incorporates elements of Variety, Social validity and Generality. Her work on Repetitive behavior and Autism spectrum disorder as part of general Autism study is frequently connected to Behavioral variability and False belief, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Her Autism spectrum disorder study incorporates themes from Interpersonal communication, Tact, Active listening and Behavior change. Rachel H. Thompson frequently studies issues relating to Reinforcement and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Many of her studies involve connections with topics such as Set and Reinforcement.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Behavioral variability and autism spectrum disorder. (42 citations)
• Teaching children with autism to respond to conversation partners' interest. (25 citations)
• Contingency analysis of caregiver behavior: Implications for parent training and future directions (20 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

• Developmental psychology
• Social psychology
• Psychotherapist

Rachel H. Thompson mainly investigates Developmental psychology, Autism, Autism spectrum disorder, Skills training and Skill development. The study incorporates disciplines such as Variety and Control in addition to Developmental psychology. In the subject of general Autism, her work in Repetitive behavior is often linked to Applied research, Response Variability, Invariant and Behavioral variability, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

Her research in Autism spectrum disorder intersects with topics in Tact, Social skills, Active listening and Behavior change. There are a combination of areas like Improved performance, Multiple baseline design, Applied psychology, Graduate students and Baseline integrated together with her Skills training study.
