Verdun, Victoria R.; Fienup, Daniel M.; Chiasson, Brittany A.; Greer, R. Douglas – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Peer-mediated instructional strategies (e.g., peer tutoring) have been effective at teaching academic responses in previous research. This study extended the literature by programming for inference-making, or derived relations. Across two experiments, researchers investigated the use of peer tutoring and inference-making to teach…

Jostad, Candice M.; Miltenberger, Raymond G.; Kelso, Pamela; Knudson, Peter – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2008
Hundreds of accidental injuries and deaths to children occur annually in the United States as a result of firearm play. Behavioral skills training (BST) and in situ training have been found to be effective in teaching children the skills to use if they find a firearm, but training requires substantial time and effort. The current study examined…

Greenwood, Charles R.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
A study of 211 students during their first- and second-grade school years showed that peer tutoring and teacher instructional procedures were both effective in increasing spelling performance above pretest levels. Peer tutoring produced statistically greater gains relative to the teachers' procedures for both low- and high-achieving groups.…

Kohler, Frank W.; Greenwood, Charles R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1990
A classwide peer tutoring procedure was implemented in an urban elementary school classroom of 23 students, to improve students' spelling performance. Results indicated the untrained or collateral tutoring behaviors increased the academic response frequencies of three tutees and the weekly spelling achievement of one target tutee. (Author/DB)

Bell, Kenneth E.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1991
Four high school students, including one with mild mental retardation and one with learning disabilities, completed a driver education curriculum that used direct instruction and precision teaching by peer tutors. Peer tutoring was associated with immediate increases in correct responding and a simultaneous and rapid deceleration of errors.…
