Evaluating the Use of Acoustical Guidance as an Immediate Method of Reinforcement for In-Vivo Staff Training

MARIA BROWN (FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY; FLORIDA ASSOCIATION FOR BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS)
Abstract:

Behavioral skills training (BST) is a treatment package used to teach a variety of skills to different populations. Feedback is an essential component of BST. During the rehearsal portion of BST, a real client (trainee) maybe used, delivery of feedback can interrupt sessions or cause confusion. During in vivo training of staff, acoustical guidance can be used to provide reinforcement for correct responses without interrupting session or confusing the learner. We will discuss the results of using acoustical guidance on staff training in a classroom setting with Lead Trainers training Assistant Trainers, and assistant trainers training trainees, and its effect on assistant trainer procedural fidelity.
