Abstract

Three new direct‐service staff participated in a program that used a video model to train target skills needed to conduct a discrete‐trial session. Percentage accuracy in completing a discrete‐trial teaching session was evaluated using a multiple baseline design across participants. During baseline, performances ranged from a mean of 12% to 63% accuracy. During video modeling, there was an immediate increase in accuracy to a mean of 98%, 85%, and 94% for each participant. Performance during maintenance and generalization probes remained at high levels. Results suggest that video modeling can be an effective technique to train staff to conduct discrete‐trial sessions.

  • Video models have been effectively incorporated into BST as the demonstration component for teaching staff various skills such as conducting discrete-trial instruction and use of picture communication systems.

    “Alternatively, video models have been effectively incorporated into BST as the demonstration component for teaching staff various skills such as conducting discrete-trial instruction (Catania et al., 2009;Sarakoff & Sturmey, 2004) and use of picture communication systems (Rosales et al., 2009).”

    From Evidence-Based Staff Training: A Guide for Practitioners (2012) · cites this paper as Catania et al., 2009

    The Procedure and Results and Discussion sections report that video modeling improved staff accuracy in conducting discrete-trial instruction. They do not show that the video was incorporated into behavioral skills training (BST) as its demonstration component; the paper describes the video-modeling intervention separately from the training package discussed in its introduction. The picture-communication claim is attributed to a different citation. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Recent advancements have embedded instructions within video-model components as on-screen text or included voiceover instructions where a narrator described what was being demonstrated in the video.

    “Further, recent advancements have embedded instructions within the video-model components as on-screen text (e.g., Spiegel et al., 2016) to enhance the saliency of important training features or included voiceover instructions where a narrator described what was being demonstrated in the video (e.g., Catania et al., 2009).”

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.
