Abstract:
Frequency building, a method of instruction by which learners perform timed repetitions of the behavior followed by corrective feedback, is often used in conjunction with precision teaching wherein individuals' performances are continuously measured on a standard celeration chart (SCC) to facilitate data-based decisions. The present case study utilized a synchronous teaching method to teach caregivers to implement frequency building in-home to teach young learners to identify sight words while learner performance was measured on a SCC. Four participants, with little previous exposure to sight words, were taught using precision teaching as implemented by caregivers. Results indicate that synchronous teaching is a viable method to teach caregivers to implement precision teaching, but care should be given to the method of teaching as well as procedural fidelity during precision teaching trials.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
