Using A Taped Intervention To Improve Kindergarten Students’ Number Identification
by Katherine R Krohn, Christopher H. Skinner, Emily J. Fuller, and Corrine Greear
The analysis should be a minimum of 2 pages in length, presented in APA formatting, and contain the following information:
- The rationale for the study.
- A brief description of the method and results.
- An evaluation of whether the study was consistent with the goals of behavior analysis as a science (why or why not).
- Discuss how the study addressed the dimensions of ABA.
- A summary of the lessons learned from the study and if there is an application to future practice or research.
Sample Answer
This analysis examines the article “Using A Taped Intervention To Improve Kindergarten Students’ Number Identification” by Krohn et al. (2012), focusing on the study’s rationale, methodology, alignment with behavior analysis principles, and implications for future research and practice.
1. Rationale
The rationale for the study centers on the importance of early number identification skills for later mathematical development (Geary, 2000). The authors highlight the need for efficient interventions to improve these skills in kindergarten students. Their chosen method, a taped intervention, offers potential benefits such as low cost, ease of implementation, and potential for use in diverse settings (McCallum & Schmitt, 2011). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a taped intervention in improving kindergarten students’ number identification accuracy
