Effects of Video Modeling and Performance Feedback to Prepare Preservice Behavior Analysts to Deliver Compassionate Care when Interacting with Parents

Tonya N. Davis, Jessica S. Akers, Julie Hrabal, Patrick J. Mallory, Renming Liu, Kelsey Sparks et al.

What it found: Video modeling substantially improved compassionate care behaviors during caregiver progress-report discussions for three of five preservice behavior analysts, while the other two reached mastery after immediate performance feedback was added.

Why it matters: Training programs can use video modeling to teach compassionate caregiver interactions and add immediate performance feedback when modeling alone does not produce mastery.
