Using Behavioral Skills Training to Improve Graduate Students' Graphing Skills

Graphing single-subject data is a crucial skill for behavior analysts. We used a multiple probe design across behaviors to evaluate the effects of behavioral skills training (BST) on three graduate students' graphing skills. We found that BST is a suitable alternative to other techniques for tr...

Description
Summary:Graphing single-subject data is a crucial skill for behavior analysts. We used a multiple probe design across behaviors to evaluate the effects of behavioral skills training (BST) on three graduate students' graphing skills. We found that BST is a suitable alternative to other techniques for training graphing fluency. Advantages and disadvantages, as well as implications and conclusions regarding graphical training techniques are discussed.
