Evaluating the Efficacy of Web-Based Technologies to Teach Staff to Implement a Stimulus Preference Assessment

2012

The ubiquity of personal computers and the development of secure internet technologies have led to the increased use of web-based training in fields such as medicine and education (Ritterband, & Tate, 2009). Roscoe and Fisher (2008) demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of a training package that included delayed feedback on performance and immediate feedback during scripted role-play sessions to teach direct-care staff how to implement two common preference assessments with children diagnosed with intellectual disabilities. The current project extends this line of research by evaluating whether delivering these same teaching procedures, as well as an information-based multimedia presentation, via web-based technologies produces similar results on staff members? implementation of a multiple-stimulus-without-replacement assessment.
