Competing stimulus assessments are one technology that aids in the development of treatment for automatically reinforced behavior. However, competing stimulus assessments do not always yield robust results. Stereotypic behaviors of different subtypes may require procedural modifications to successfully identify competing stimuli. The current investigation included functional analyses to determine whether participant responding aligned with proposed subtypes for such behaviors. Next, we implemented augmented competing‐stimulus‐assessment (A‐CSA) procedures across target and generalization stimuli to determine whether (a) responding across either subtype was more likely to require intensive modifications and (b) the A‐CSA procedures promoted generalized target behavior reduction within stimulus classes. Lastly, a treatment evaluation was conducted to determine the durability of these findings and the generalization of the reduced target behavior to other settings. The general applicability of the subtyping model remains unclear, but two participants demonstrated maintenance of competition effects.

With the increase of global economic uncertainty, geopolitical conflicts and the increasingly fierce competition between China and the United States, the world economy is slowly falling into a recession, and one of the serious problems caused by it is the employment of college students. According to relevant statistics, for China, the current unemployment rate of college students has reached a record high, in the United States, due to the large number of prestigious schools, but the U.S. domestic real economy is not so strong employment absorption capacity, so the United States graduating college students face the same employment pressure should not be underestimated. This paper analyzes the employment pressure of college students in China and the United States through a combination of qualitative analysis and case study method, and forms targeted policy recommendations on the basis of the analysis. The research in this paper can provide some support to the current research on college students' employment.

The following paper describes Lowenkron's model of joint (stimulus) control. Joint control is described as a means of accounting for performances, especially generalized performances, for which a history of contingency control does not provide an adequate account. Examples are provided to illustrate instances in which joint control may facilitate performance of a task.
