Training Individuals to Implement Discrete-Trial Teaching Procedures Using Behavioral Skills Training: A Scoping Review with Implications for Practice and Research
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v57 n1 p86-103 2024
Behavioral skills training (BST) is an evidence-based approach for training individuals to implement discrete-trial teaching procedures. Despite the effectiveness of this approach, implementing BST can be time and resource intensive, which may interfere with a clinical organization's adoption of this training format. We conducted a scoping review of studies using BST components for training discrete-trial teaching procedures in peer-reviewed articles between 1977 and 2021. We identified 51 studies in 46 publications involving 354 participants. We coded descriptive data on: (1) participant characteristics; (2) study characteristics; (3) training conditions (including instructions, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback); and (4) training outcomes. The results indicated that studies have primarily attempted to improve the efficacy and efficiency of BST by modifying or omitting common training components. We provide best-practice considerations for using BST to teach discrete-trial teaching procedures and offer a research agenda to guide future investigation in this area.
