We report three experiments carried out in the development of “DTkid”—interactive computer simulation software that presents “SIMon”, a realistic virtual child with whom novice tutors can learn and practise DTT techniques. Experiments 1 and 2 exposed groups of participants either to DTkid training or to a control task. Participants in the former groups demonstrated significantly greater procedural and declarative knowledge of DTT. Experiment 3 confirmed this finding, further demonstrating that observation of DTkid training trials alone was sufficient to enhance participants’ declarative and procedural knowledge of DTT. Results indicate that DTkid offers the potential for an effective means of teaching DTT skills to novice tutors of children with autism.

Effects of Computer Simulation Training on In Vivo Discrete Trial Teaching / Sigmund ELDEVIK in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-3 (March 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 43-3 (March 2013) . - p.569-578 Titre : Effects of Computer Simulation Training on In Vivo Discrete Trial Teaching Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sigmund ELDEVIK, Auteur ; Iwona ONDIRE, Auteur ; J. Carl HUGHES, Auteur ; Corinna F. GRINDLE, Auteur ; Tom RANDELL, Auteur ; Bob REMINGTON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.569-578 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Discrete-trial teaching  Staff training  Software simulation  DTkid Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although Discrete-trial Teaching (DTT) is effective in teaching a many skills to children with autism, its proper implementation requires rigorous staff training. This study used an interactive computer simulation program (“DTkid”) to teach staff relevant DTT skills. Participants (N = 12) completed two sets of pre-tests either once (n = 7) or twice (n = 5) before brief DTkid training. These evaluated (a) simulated interactive teaching using DTkid and (b) in vivo teaching of three basic skills (receptive and expressive labeling; verbal imitation) to children with autism. Post-tests showed that DTkid training, rather than repeated testing, was significantly associated with improvements in staff’s ability to implement DTT both within the simulation and in vivo, and that the skills acquired showed both stimulus and response generalization.
