Using video modeling and reinforcement to teach perspective-taking skills to children with autism.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis,
36, 253-257.
We evaluated video modeling and reinforcement for teaching
perspective-taking skills to 3 children with autism using a
multiple baseline design. Video modeling and reinforcement were
effective; however, only 2 children were able to pass an
untrained task, indicating limited generalization. The findings
suggest that video modeling may be an effective technology for
teaching perspective taking if researchers can continue to
develop strategies for enhancing the generalization of these new
skills.
