Comprehensive Training (Weinkauf et al.) Flashcards
The authors stress that staff training is important for the following reasons:
-the success of behavioral interventions for children with autism depends on how well the intervention is implemented
-research shows children receiving treatment do better when interventionists are properly trained
-there aren’t many resources for measuring treatment _______
fidelity
If a training has a combination of antecedent and consequent strategies, it is _________.
multi-faceted
How did this study differ from past research in this area?
Graduate students were participants.
Only a single set of skills were taught in training.
Only parents were participants.
Multiple skill areas were taught.
Multiple skill areas were taught.
Skills were taught in a _______ sequence.
This means that skills were taught in clusters and skill clusters were systematically introduced based on learner success.
graduated
Who were the participants in this study?
four trainees working at a non-profit autism treatment program
four children between the ages of three to nine
four children with autism spectrum disorder
four senior level therapists at the agency sponsoring the project
four trainees working at a non-profit autism treatment program
The primary ________ measure/variable in this research study was 125 skills on a checklist developed to train basic instructional formats.
dependent
What were the results of the current study?
Most trainees demonstrated mastery of 120 skills in 40 hours of training.
Most trainees demonstrated mastery of all 125 skills in 20 hours of training.
All trainees demonstrated mastery of all 125 skills in less than 20 hours of training.
All trainees demonstrated mastery of 120 skills in less than 35 hours of training.
All trainees demonstrated mastery of 120 skills in less than 35 hours of training
What were the results of the trainee satisfaction surveys?
Trainees were satisfied with the training.
Trainees were not asked about their satisfaction with the surveys.
Trainees were somewhat satisfied with the training.
Trainees were not satisfied with the training.
Trainees were satisfied with the training.
What is the rationale for only obtaining one baseline data point per skill cluster?
More assessments would have left the children with an unskilled teacher for a longer period of time.
One baseline data point was sufficient to demonstrate a treatment effect.
One baseline data point is sufficient in an alternating treatments design.
It is standard to obtain one data point in baseline for every five data points in treatment.
More assessments would have left the children with an unskilled teacher for a longer period of time.
