Because it allowed for the introduction of participants after the independent variable had been implemented with the first participants, a
________ multiple baseline design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the paraprofessional training package.
delayed
-having materials ready
-gaining child’s attention
-presentation of discriminative stimulus
-prompting
-use of reinforcement
All of the above steps were targeted during _______ instruction.
(Hint: two words)
discrete trial
-a positive statement
-praise for each skill performed correctly
-identification of any steps performed incorrectly
-description of how to perform steps correctly
-summary of what the paraprofessional should do during the next observation
All of the above steps were included in the protocol for _______.
(Hint: two words)
performance feedback
