Background: Virtual reality (VR) is becoming increasingly accessible and being utilized in various organizations to meet education and training needs. Despite its potential, research regarding VR applications has focused on measuring the effectiveness of VR programs relative to non-VR programs; consequently, the ways in which VR programs are…

Pyramidal training is an effective model for disseminating behavior analytic skills. However, pyramidal training in research is often conducted in controlled university settings. Further, research that has evaluated the effectiveness of pyramidal training in classroom settings (see Pence et al. 2014) often focuses on improving the use of one…

High-quality IEP goals developed based on a comprehensive assessment of child functioning are more likely to result in individualisation of services and improved learning outcomes for students with disabilities. This study investigated the impact of a training programme on the quality of individualised education programme (IEP) goals written by…

Objective: Assess the impact of a novel Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) training for Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (EFAST) presented to US Ski and Snowboard (USSS) physicians at the Medical Emergencies in Skiing and Snowboarding (MESS) course in January 2024 in Park City, Utah. Methods: Prospective cohort analysis of an…

As the rates of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) increase, so does the need to provide high-quality and empirically validated supports across the lifespan. Despite most of an individual's life taking place in adulthood, it is well-documented that the supports and services for adults with ASD are severely lacking. This is evidenced by outcomes…

Metacognition includes the processes that learners use to plan, monitor, and assess their learning and is tied to academic performance and growth-oriented attitudes toward learning. Learning anatomy presents challenges to learners at all levels, and for many, necessitates a change in learning strategies and metacognitive awareness. We sought to…

The aims of this systematic review were to identify, describe, and synthesize the characteristics and effectiveness of self-regulated learning training programs on primary education students' self-regulated learning and academic achievement. The study implemented a systematic review protocol that encompassed both primary and complementary…

With over two decades of research showing a close association between working memory (WM) and maths performance, WM training has been suggested as one way to supplement conventional remedial instructions. Although initial findings were promising, recent reviews have found that training typically resulted in WM improvement but no transfer to maths…

This guidance updates Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 10-16, Change 2, published September 15, 2022, and developed jointly by the U.S. Departments of Labor (DOL) and Education (ED) (the Departments). Within ED, the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) will update Program Memorandum (PM) 17-2, and the…

Background: Few previous randomized trials investigated whether additional therapies could improve the efficacy of the standard combined-approach (stuttering modification and fluency shaping) treatment in adults who stutter (AWS). Aims: To evaluate in a randomized controlled clinical trial whether the addition of a psychomotor therapy over a…

Background: The global rise in chronic health conditions highlights the importance of self-management in empowering people to actively participate in their healthcare. People with intellectual disabilities are disproportionately affected by these conditions and face barriers in accessing self-management interventions. Method: This scoping review…

Organizations spend millions of dollars training employees in ways to improve their skills--recently through mandatory professional development delivered virtually or through online asynchronous platforms. This research investigated how social exchange theory and self-efficacy theory inform faculty participants' motivation to transfer such…

We evaluated the effects of behavioral skills training on improving participant implementation of functional communication training with multiple schedules when working with a confederate. Behavioral skills training produced mastery-level responding for all six participants who required training, providing the first empirically supported training…

To understand the current state of research, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to synthesize the effects of suicide prevention gatekeeper training (GKT) on participant behavioral intention to intervene and participant suicide intervention behaviors. Included studies examined GKT with adult participants and measured either…

According to relational frame theory (RFT), temporal relational responding is key to important repertoires, including sequencing, ordering, planning, and time understanding. Previous studies have taught several other varieties of relational responding (e.g., comparison, deictics) but relatively little work has been done in the case of temporal…
