THE EFFECTS OF BEHAVIORAL SKILLS TRAINING ON MAND TRAINING BY STAFF AND UNPROMPTED VOCAL MANDS BY CHILDREN
Open accessAbstract
We evaluated the effects of a training package, including instructions, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback, for training staff members to conduct mand training with children. Experimenters collected data on staff performance on each step of a task analysis of mand training and on unprompted child vocal mands. Training resulted in increases in staff performance in mand training and in unprompted mands by children. We observed replication of these effects across settings for all staff and for 3 of the children.

Practicing the skill is a critical feature for the success of BST and should be required of each trainee to produce effective performance.
“However, practicing the skill is a critical feature for the success of BST and should be required of each trainee to produce effective performance (Nigro-Bruzzi & Sturmey, 2010;Rosales et al., 2009).”
From Evidence-Based Staff Training: A Guide for Practitioners (2012) · cites this paper as Nigro-Bruzzi & Sturmey, 2010
The Procedure describes each trained staff member practicing the steps in a role play, and the Results and Discussion report improved staff performance after BST. But practice was delivered alongside instructions, modeling, and feedback; the paper does not establish that practice itself is critical or required for effective performance.

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.
