BST Across Responses and Skills (Fetherston & Sturmey) Flashcards
According to the authors, Behavioral Skills Training consists of:
written instructions
verbal feedback
________
skill rehearsal
modeling
The current study sought to determine whether:
(Select all that apply)
previous demonstrations of BST effectiveness could be replicated
learned teaching responses would generalize to teaching other (unlearned/novel) responses
positive changes in learner behavior would generalize to programs without instructor training
positive changes in instructor behavior would lead to corresponding changes in learner behavior
all of the above
The authors sought to learn more about generalization. Therefore, instructors were taught to use:
-discrete trial teaching
-________ teaching
-activity schedules
incidental
This study measured both staff and learner behavior. This included:
-percentage of independent correct learner responses
-the percentage of intervals with learner disruptive behavior
-the percentage of correct teaching component use
The above were the _______ variables that were measured in this study.
dependent

It is important to identify all critical skill sets and train responses from each.
BST is a socially valid, acceptable and effective training procedure.
Because of the generality of BST, it may not be necessary to identify all critical skill sets and train responses from each.
