Using Computer-Based Instruction to Teach Implementation of Discrete Trial Instruction: A Replication and Extension

Behav Anal Pract. 2022 Aug 26;16(1):307-311. doi: 10.1007/s40617-022-00731-7. eCollection 2023 Mar.

Abstract

Evidence-based procedures, such as computer-based instruction, have been used to train staff to implement behavioral technologies with high treatment integrity. The purpose of the present study was to address the gaps in Romer et al. (2021) by assessing the same computer-based instruction module to train relevant staff to implement discrete trial instruction. Results suggest computer-based instruction is effective, efficient, and a socially valid procedure to use to teach relevant staff to implement discrete trial instruction.
