Journal/ Year

Experimental question or proposed association

100 15 – 18 y/o boys; more information if helpful

Variable X leads to an increase in variable Y; Variable X increases with variable Y

Subjects were asked to do X and Y was measured. The ABC measurement system was used to observe this change

When X was used at a max interval of 10 times, Y rates were greater than baseline levels (Statistical findings)

X is a promising treatment

The effects of instructional format on skill acquisition and maintenance for children with autism spectrum disorders

Tom Cariveau, Tiffany Kodak, and Vincent Campbell

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016

Can instructional format have a major impact on nonverbal/non-responsive adults with autism?

9 year-old girl with ASD; 7 year-old boy with ASD and Fragile X Syndrome

Skill acquisition was measured during 3 intertrial-interval durations

Responsiveness and problematic behaviors were more prevalent with change in skill acquisition (behaviors depended on type of acquisition)

Measured: stereotypic and problem behavior during the ITI, maintenance of skills, and responses to novel adults and settings.

Researchers observed workflow and behaviors of students after treatment measurements were implemdented

Initial learning rates were moderate in correlation with treatment outcomes

Skill acquisition in parents of children with developmental disabilities: Interaction between skill type and instructional format

Dorothy Leman, Naomi Swiezy, Susan Perkins-Parks, Henry S. Roane

Research Developmental Disabilities, 2000

Can parents be taught intervention and management procedures that can aid in the prevention of behavioral problems in children with autism?

3 parents who have children with problematic behavior

The type of instructional format is the DV, whereas the skill type is the IV. The study measures the correlation between skill type and whether the instructional format of the skill type makes an impact on problematic behavior.

The parents were taught to implement multiple treatment components for behavior management, starting with written and verbal instructions

Results varied per component

The participants had previously asked for and requested outpatient services as treatment for the children’s behavior management

Instructional Practices for Promoting Skill Acquisition and Generalization in Severely Learning Disabled Adolescents

Donald Deshler, Gordon Alley, Michael M. Warner, and Jean B. Schumaker

Learning Disability Quarterly,1981

How to instruct learning disabled adolescents to ensure max skill acquisition

Students who are taught by teachers who learned certain skill acquisitions showed a correlation of learning capabilities.

Students are taught a specific strategy and are asked to apply it to class content. Their learning habits are then observed.

The needs of students with learning disabilities met but results also showed that learning habits were affected if the student’s individual need for instructional attention was ignored.

Students who are handicapped demonstrated poor instructional performance under instructional conditions do not adhere or integrate effective learning principles. Because of this, the study was proposed with a class of students who display learning disabilities.

Teachers were observed taught learning strategies and were observed to factor in their instructional contribution to the study methodology.
