Abstract

Discrete trial training is a popular teaching method for individuals with autism, but it is not easily implemented with fidelity due to its complexity. This is the first meta-analysis of single-case experimental design studies to quantify the impact of behavioral skills training on individuals’ ability to implement discrete trials with fidelity. Furthermore, this meta-analysis examines the four training methods that make up behavioral skills training—feedback, instruction, modeling, and rehearsal—to determine the “active ingredients” of behavioral skills training. A total of 46 single-case experimental design studies are included in this meta-analysis. Hierarchical linear modeling, which has the ability to analyze clustered data, is the meta-analytic technique used to estimate the effectiveness of behavioral skills training across studies. Results show that behavioral skills training has a statistically significant positive effect on discrete trial training implementation fidelity; therefore, behavior skills training is recommended for discrete trial training implementation instruction.

训练个体忠实地执行离散试验：Meta分析

离散试验训练是自闭症患者的一种流行的教学方法，但由于其复杂性，它不容易忠实地实施。这是第一次对单案例实验设计研究进行荟萃分析，以量化行为技能训练对个体忠实实施离散试验能力的影响。此外，这项荟萃分析考察了构成行为技能训练的四种训练方法——反馈、指导、建模和排练——以确定行为技能训练中的“有效成分”。本荟萃分析共纳入46项单例实验设计研究。分层线性建模能够分析聚类数据，是一种元分析技术，用于评估跨研究的行为技能训练的有效性。结果表明，行为技能训练对离散试验训练实施保真度有统计学显著的正向影响；因此，建议将行为技能训练作为离散试验训练实施指导。
