ABSTRACT

[Purpose] This study provided behavioral skills training consisting of written instruction, modeling, role-play, and feedback to special education teaching candidates to train paired-stimulus and multiple-stimulus-without-replacement preference assessment and to illuminate the effect of the training on the change, maintenance, and generalization of stimulus preference performance accuracy. [Method] Three special education teaching candidates enrolled in secondary special education were trained in paired-stimulus and multiple-stimulus-without-replacement preference assessment through behavioral skills training. A multiple-baseline design was used across participants, consisting of a baseline, written instruction, modeling, role-play, feedback, maintenance, and generalization. Three children with developmental delays participated in the generalization evaluation. [Results] Stimulus preference assessment training via behavioral skills training improved the accuracy of the special education teaching candidate’s paired-stimulus and multiple-stimulus-without-replacement performance accuracy. Behavioral skills training was effective in improving, maintaining, and generalizing the performance accuracy of the paired-stimulus and multiple-stimulus-without-replacement preference assessment. In addition, the general evaluation conducted on children with developmental delays also showed high performance accuracy. [Conclusion] Behavioral skills training is effective in improving, maintaining, and generalizing the accuracy of paired-stimulus and multiple-stimulus-withoutreplacement preference assessment by special education teaching candidates.
