Abstract

We evaluated the effects of abbreviated (i.e., one-session) video modeling on delivery of student-preferred attention by educational care-providers. The video depicted a novel care-provider interacting with and delivering attention to the student. Within a concurrent multiple baseline design, video modeling increased delivery of the targeted attention for all participants as well as their delivery of another type of attention that was not trained although these effects were variable within and between care-providers. We discuss the clinical and training implications from these findings.

Additional information

• Qualitative differences may have an influence on the effectiveness of attention as positive reinforcement

• Video modeling is supported as a training procedure for care providers

• Depiction of skills under natural conditions, as used in video modeling, lends itself to training nuanced behaviors

• Increasing specific types of attention can contribute to client behavior change
