Episode 11 - Preventing Errors in Discrete Trial Training

Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Google Play Subscribe on Stitcher Rather than pull your hair out about that discrete trial program that JUST...ISN'T...WORKING, why not listen to us discuss some possible solutions.  We review research on minimizing overselectivity using a differential observing response and on using more salient behavior-consequence relations all in the name of helping you avoid those pesky DTT error patterns.  Plus, we share the secrets of remembering the 140 Crayola crayon colors, literal reinforcer stacking, and Rob's Boston accent.  Articles discussed this episode: Dube, W.V, & McIlvane, W.J.  (1999).  Reduction of stimulus overselectivity with nonverbal differential observing responses.  Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 32, 25-33.  doi: 10.1901/jaba.1999.32-25 Fisher, W.W., Pawich, T.L., Dickes, N., Paden, A.R., & Toussaint, K.  (2014).  Increasing the saliency of behavior-consequence relations for children with autism who exhibit persistent errors.  Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 47, 738-748.  doi: 10.1002/jaba.172 If you're interested in ordering CEs for listening to this episode, click here to go to the store page.
