The study by Melanson et al. (2025) has been updated to include a description of the attention condition in the functional analysis, which was omitted from the original publication. The added text is as follows:

Attention. Prior to the start of the attention condition, the experimenter provided 30 to 60 s of noncontingent attention and ensured the participant was engaged with the experimenter’s attention before saying, “I have some work to do,” while redirecting their attention elsewhere. The participant received noncontingent access to their MP leisure item throughout the session. Because Harper’s MP leisure item required assistance from the experimenter, the experimenter operated the bubble toy continuously and continued to redirect their attention elsewhere. Contingent on target behavior or an appropriate request for attention, the experimenter turned toward the participant and provided attention for 20 s before redirecting their attention again.

This addition clarifies the procedures used in the attention condition of the functional analysis. No other changes were made to the manuscript.
