Mercer, Sterett H.; Harpole, Lauren Lestremau; Mitchell, Rachel R.; McLemore, Chandler; Hardy, Christina – School Psychology Quarterly, 2012
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of probe variability on the ability to replicate results in brief experimental analysis (BEA) of reading. In the first phase of the study, 41 first- and second- grade students completed 16 oral reading fluency probes. Calculations of probe difficulty were used to identify Low and High Variability…
