TEACHING BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION TO NONPROFESSIONALS1
Open accessAbstract
Two instructional methods (role playing and lecture) were compared in evaluating the effectiveness of teaching behavior modification to institutional attendants. Pre‐ and posttest measures were obtained for two major outcome variables: (1) knowledge of behavior modification principles and (2) ratings of ability to apply behavior modification techniques. Results indicated that role playing was more effective in teaching behavior modification skills while the lectures were more effective in teaching principles of behavior modification.

Staff training programs relying on verbal-skill strategies are effective for enhancing targeted knowledge but often ineffective for teaching trainees to perform newly targeted job skills.
“Early behavioral research demonstrated that staff training programs relying on verbalskill strategies (e.g., lectures, presentation of written and visual material) are effective for enhancing targeted knowledge, but often are ineffective for teaching trainees to perform newly targeted job skills (Gardner, 1972).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
