Computer-based fluency training with the terminology of behavior analysis

摘要: This study examined the effects of computer-based fluency training on learning behavior-analysis terminology. Sixty-nine undergraduates studied definitions half a set terms using computer program Think Fast (Parsons, 1989), and their regular methods. items consisted typing words missing from definitions. On seven out nine post-training quizzes, students were better able to define previously with program. In related experiment, volunteers new computer, either or saying answers. Students mastered when they typed There no differences in presentation order concepts so neither primacy nor recency effect was supported. Even though amount time allowed same for both methods, mode still superior. suggests that experiments, superiority answers result method used not devoted practice Fluency helps achieve competency
