Area of Science:

  • Behavior Analysis
  • Educational Technology
  • Applied Behavior Analysis

Background:

  • Behavior analysts commonly develop skill acquisition protocols, a crucial service.
  • Existing literature lacks specific guidance on creating effective skill acquisition protocols.
  • There is a need for efficient and standardized training methods for behavior analysts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a computer-based instruction (CBI) tutorial for teaching the skill of writing individualized protocols.
  • To assess the effectiveness of CBI compared to traditional textual training manuals.
  • To investigate the efficacy of self-paced, trainer-absent training for complex skill acquisition.

Main Methods:

  • A computer-based instruction (CBI) tutorial was developed using expert samples.
  • Fourteen behavior analysis students participated in a matched-subjects experimental design.
  • Training modules covered protocol components, research article analysis, and learner individualization, incorporating behavioral skills training principles.

Main Results:

  • Participants using the CBI tutorial demonstrated a significant increase in protocol accuracy compared to those using a textual manual.
  • The CBI approach proved effective for skill acquisition in a self-paced, trainer-absent format.
  • The study validates CBI as a viable technology for complex skill development in behavior analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-based instruction (CBI) is an effective method for training behavior analysts to write individualized skill acquisition protocols.
  • This technology offers an efficient and accessible means for clinicians to acquire essential protocol-writing skills.
  • The findings support the application of CBI for complex skill acquisition in behavior analysis training programs.
