Behavior Modification

767
Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.
A real-world application of operant conditioning principles is applied...

Area of Science:

  • Behavior Analysis
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Limited research exists on training decision-making with undifferentiated functional analysis data.
  • Effective training methods are crucial for applied behavior analysis practitioners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate computer-based training for teaching functional analysis skills.
  • To assess the effectiveness of interactive software in a 1-day training session.

Main Methods:

  • 20 graduate students received computer-based training on functional analysis conditions, data analysis, and procedural modifications.
  • Training utilized interactive software over a single day.

Main Results:

  • All participants showed increased scores on posttests, novel cases probes, and maintenance probes.
  • The training was found to be acceptable to participants.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-based training is an effective method for teaching functional analysis skills in a brief format.
  • Interactive software can successfully enhance decision-making in behavior analysis training.
