Supervision Intensity and Outcomes (Eikeseth et al.) Flashcards
Previous research has shown that the variables most likely to affect learner outcomes in early and intensive behavioral interventions include:
_______ of intervention
child’s level of ___________ pretreatment
__________ method
intensity
functioning
treatment
The present study asked whether ______ of supervision was associated with outcome in preschool aged children with autism who receive early and intensive behavioral intervention.
intensity
The authors assessed correlations between intensity of supervision and improvements in which of the following?
(Select all that apply)
visual spatial IQ
IQ
multi reasoning
adaptive functioning
visual spatial IQ
IQ
adaptive functioning
Select the range of hours of supervision received by all participants in the study.
40 to 150 hours per month per child
6.1 to 8.1 hours per month per child
2.9 to 7.8 hours per month per child
34.2 to 50 hours per month per child
2.9 to 7.8 hours per month per child
The authors note that optimum levels of supervision may vary from child to child and depend upon:
_________ involvement
_________characteristics
_________of the tutors
parental
child
competency
What does the linear regression line graph presented in this article show?
Participants received, on average, 0.21 hours of supervision for every hour of therapy.
Participants made, on average, a score of 22 on the IQ follow up evaluation.
Participants made, on average, a gain of 0.21 IQ points for every hour of supervision received.
Participant received, on average, more hours of supervision the smaller their IQ score was.
Participants made, on average, a gain of 0.21 IQ points for every hour of supervision received.
Strengths of this study include which of the following?
(Select all that apply)
independent and blind assessment
the study was preliminary
specific intake criteria
uniform training of supervisors
independent and blind assessment
specific intake criteria
uniform training of supervisor
A weakness of this study is that it was only correlational. To determine a causal relationship, a good idea for future research may be which of the following?
comparing whether children with lower intake IQs make more gains within a year of treatment than children with higher intake IQs
assess whether high versus low supervision intensity differentially effects participant outcomes
comparing whether supervision hours have a similar linear regression line when compared separately with both spatial IQ and adaptive functioning
assess whether higher IQs produce more interest and therefore more hour allocation from supervisors
assess whether high versus low supervision intensity differentially effects participant outcomes
