Abstract

The purpose of this study was to extend the limited research on group stimulus preference assessment (SPA) procedures. The study occurred in two sections of a middle school special education classroom and included 20 students with multi-categorical disabilities. A paired stimulus group SPA was used to identify a preference hierarchy for each class, and results were validated using single case designs in which baseline conditions were compared to group contingency conditions with alternating sessions of the highest-preferred (high-p) and lowest-preferred (low-p) consequences. Both group contingency conditions increased the percentage of students prepared for class relative to baseline; however, consistently higher levels of students were prepared for class during high-p sessions. Student responses on a daily quiz were similar in both conditions, but social validity surveys indicated students felt the most motivation and enjoyment during high-p sessions.

利用群体刺激偏好评估设计有效的群体权变。

本研究的目的是对群体刺激偏好评估（SPA）程序的有限研究进行扩展。该研究在一所中学特殊教育教室的两个区域进行，包括20名多类别残疾学生。配对刺激组SPA用于确定每个类别的偏好层次，并使用单个案例设计验证结果，其中基线条件与具有最高偏好（高p）和最低偏好（低p）结果交替会话的组应急条件进行比较。相对于基线，两组应急条件都增加了备课学生的百分比；然而，在高p课程中，水平较高的学生一直在为上课做准备。在这两种情况下，学生们在日常测试中的回答是相似的，但社会效度调查显示，学生们在高强度的训练中感到最有动力和乐趣。补充资料：在线版本提供补充资料，网址为10.1007/s40617-024-01003-2。

期刊介绍： Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
