Book Examining the Use of a Self controlled Self modeling Video Within a Competitive Setting

Download or read book Examining the Use of a Self controlled Self modeling Video Within a Competitive Setting written by Kelly Vertes and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feedforward self-modeling (FF-SM), the process of viewing an edited video of the self- performing above one's current ability (Dowrick, 1999), has been shown to be an effective tool for enhancing athletes' competitive performance (Ste-Marie, Rymal, Vertes, & Martini, 2011). At 3 consecutive competitions, 9 trampolinists aged 9-16 years old were provided a FF-SM video of their trampoline routine one hour prior to competing and were provided the opportunity to control their viewings at their leisure. On average, the trampolinists viewed their videos 5 times per competition at 2 different time intervals. Interviews revealed that they perceived the video enhanced their performance. They indicated they chose to watch it to assist with skill execution; although, self-reported outcomes did include increased motor execution, increased self-efficacy, use of task strategies, and adaptive inferences. Throughout the span of the intervention, the trampolinists reported changes in their use of imagery, self-talk, and self-observation.

Book Video Self modeling  A Job Skills Intervention with Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities in Employment Settings

Download or read book Video Self modeling A Job Skills Intervention with Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities in Employment Settings written by Ailsa E. Goh and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large majority of adults with intellectual disabilities are unemployed. Unemployment of adults with intellectual disabilities is a complex multidimensional issue. Some barriers to employment of individuals with intellectual disabilities are the lack of job experience and skills training. In recent years, video-based interventions, such as video self-modeling (VSM) and video modeling, have been receiving substantial attention as viable methods to teach skills to individuals with intellectual disabilities. Initial empirical evaluations have demonstrated that VSM and video modeling, when used in combination with in-vivo instructional strategies, are effective methods to teach chained task to individuals with intellectual disabilities. However, few studies have investigated the effectiveness of VSM or video modeling as stand-alone interventions, without the addition of in-vivo instructional strategies, for teaching chained tasks. While research utilizing video-based interventions to teach independent daily living skills is gaining momentum, the use of video-based interventions in the area of job skills training is still lacking. This study investigated the effectiveness of VSM to teach chained job tasks to individuals with intellectual disabilities in employment settings. The purposes of this study were to (a) evaluate the effectiveness of VSM to teach chained job tasks to individuals with intellectual disabilities, (b) explore the effectiveness and feasibility of VSM alone or in combination with feedback and practice, and (c) evaluate the social validity of VSM in employment settings. Particularly in this study, the VSM intervention (i.e., VSM alone or in combination with feedback and practice) did not include an in-vivo instructional component in order to evaluate if the VSM intervention can lead to generalization of the job tasks to the actual job setting. Three adults with intellectual disabilities participated in this study. A within participant multiple probe design across targeted job tasks, replicated across the three participants, was used to evaluate the effectiveness of VSM in this study. All of the participants demonstrated increased task acquisition with the VSM intervention; however, the effectiveness of VSM alone, or in combination with feedback and practice, varied across participants and job tasks. In terms of social validity, the participants, their job coaches, and the supervisors of the supported employment program, reported overall positive perceptions of the videotaping procedure and VSM intervention. Limitations of the study and implications for future research are discussed.

Book An Examination of Video Self modeling as a Reading Fluency Intervention

Download or read book An Examination of Video Self modeling as a Reading Fluency Intervention written by Shengtian Wu and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to examine the efficacy of video self-modeling as a reading fluency intervention for elementary school students. The participants were 10-year-old male students, and they were enrolled in 4th or 5th grade. All of the participants carry disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorder or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. 2 participants participated in the study in a clinic setting, and one participant participated in the study in a school setting. Before attending the intervention sessions, the participants attended pre-participation assessment sessions to evaluate if their current reading skills and behavioral repertoire met the purposes of the current study. Following the screening procedures, the participants participated in the baseline measurements, video developments, alternating treatments phase, confirmatory phase, and follow-up phase. The results indicated the stand-alone Video Self-Modeling was efficacious for 2 out of 3 participants, and the Video Self-Modeling as a supplemental intervention component showed its efficacy for 1 participant. The findings showed various practical implications. Limitations and future studies are also discussed.

Book The Impact of Video Self modeling on Conversational Skills with Adolescent Students with Severe Disabilities

Download or read book The Impact of Video Self modeling on Conversational Skills with Adolescent Students with Severe Disabilities written by Megan Elizabeth Sangster and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Video self-modeling has been found to be effective in increasing appropriate behaviors, increasing task fluency, and decreasing inappropriate behaviors. During video self-modeling, a student is filmed completing a task and then mistakes, prompts, and negative behaviors are edited from the video. When the edited video is viewed by the subject student, the student views a perfect model of him or herself successfully completing the given task. Video self-modeling has been used predominately with participants with autism spectrum disorder. This study is a replication of a previous study in which the effectiveness of video self-modeling and video peer modeling was compared (Sherer, Paredes, Kisacky, Ingersoll, & Schreiman, 2001). Sherer et al. evaluated these procedures with high functioning students with autism using a combined multiple baseline across participants and alternating treatment design. This study differs from Sherer et al.[alpha]s study in its use of participants who have multiple disabilities and low cognitive functioning. The results show that video self-modeling is effective for some participants while video peer modeling is effective for others. The individual student[alpha]s preference for one form of video modeling over another form may indicate the method that is best for a particular participant. Implications for further research are included.

Book Using Video Self modeling to Instruct Preschool Children with Special Needs

Download or read book Using Video Self modeling to Instruct Preschool Children with Special Needs written by Suzanne Julin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine how efficient and effective video-self modeling is when used as an instructional strategy with a preschool student who is enrolled in early childhood special education. The subject chosen for the study had a disability such as autism or a delay in social skills. The target behavior was operationally defined and baseline data was collected via time sampling for two weeks. After collection of baseline data, video footage was collected and edited to create a three to five minute video showing the child performing the target skill. The child was shown the video at the beginning of each day for two weeks. Data was collected for two weeks on the target behavior as soon as the child began watching the video. All staff time used to implement the use of video self-modeling was recorded to determine if this method of instruction is an efficient and effective use of teacher's time. After the study, the author concluded video modeling was an appropriate use of time and the subject here made slight progress in the short duration of this study.

Book The Applicability of Video Self modeling for Adults with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities

Download or read book The Applicability of Video Self modeling for Adults with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities written by Lauren E. Cox and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Video Self-Modeling (VSM) has shown to be an effective intervention in modifying maladaptive behaviors in children, particularly those with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (ID/DD). Although the effectiveness of VSM with children with ID/DD has been well established in the extant literature, considerably fewer studies have addressed the applicability of VSM with adults of the same population. Thus, the goal of the current study was to examine the utility of VSM with three adults with ID/DD, specifically targeting table manners as the behavior of interest for the intervention. Two aspects of table manners were measured utilizing a multiple baseline design: food spillage on the person and appropriate napkin use. Data were graphed and analyzed on the basis of level, trend, and variability. Results indicated that the intervention was successful with Participant 2 on the appropriate napkin use variable, but not on food spillage on the person. Participants 1 and 3 did not evidence significant changes in behavior following the introduction of the VSM intervention. Possible reasons for the limited success of this intervention include the complexity of the target behaviors, age of participants at age of intervention, and lack of changes in environment to reinforce learning gained from videos. Future research should examine possible limits of the VSM technique as well as ways of utilizing the VSM procedure to function most effectively with older adults.

Book Using Group Video Self Modeling in the Classroom to Improve Transition Speeds with Elementary Students

Download or read book Using Group Video Self Modeling in the Classroom to Improve Transition Speeds with Elementary Students written by Matthew T. McNiff and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Video self-modeling has been proven to be an effective intervention for individuals with a variety of disabilities and behavioral issues. Very few studies have addressed the impact of video modeling on behaviors that are displayed by groups of students and no studies have tackled the issue of group behaviors with video self-modeling as an intervention. This study focused on analyzing the effects of video self-modeling on students in an elementary classroom in order to increase the speed at which the students lined up and transitioned. Further, the study addressed the question of whether the intervention had a differential impact on students who exhibited varying speeds of transitioning, by grouping them into fast, medium or slow groups determined during baseline. The study employed a single-subject research design but employed groups, rather than individuals as the subjects. The results revealed that the entire class showed immediate and significant gains in the speed at which they lined up and transitioned. The results also showed that both the medium and slow groups gained enough speed by using this intervention that the groups transitioned and lined up with similar speeds as the fast group. Implications of this study showed that group video self-modeling may be an intervention that can be used to positively influence global behavior change in the regular education classroom. This intervention may be a valuable asset for educators to improve classroom management by efficiently improving student behavior, and may assist them to increase the fidelity of student responses when teaching positive classroom behaviors to students.

Book The Efficacy of Video Self modeling in Ameliorating Aggressive Behavior Among Students Identified as At risk Within a Response to Intervention Paradigm

Download or read book The Efficacy of Video Self modeling in Ameliorating Aggressive Behavior Among Students Identified as At risk Within a Response to Intervention Paradigm written by Michelle G. La Spata and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of video self-modeling (VSM) with early elementary-aged children who have not been evaluated as having a disability entitling them to special education services, but who have been identified by their teachers as exhibiting aggressive behavior within the school setting and were “at-risk” for experiencing educational difficulties due to behavior. Eight students from two elementary schools received the VSM intervention and their data were analyzed as part of this study. Teachers and parents completed the BRIEF and SSIS, and students were observed at baseline and after the intervention. Half of all observations were conducted with two raters in order to assess inter-rater reliability. Primary analyses of observational data included visual analysis of level, variability, and trend, as well as statistical analysis using two nonparametric techniques (i.e., NAP and Tau-U) and one parametric technique (i.e., Allison-MT regression). Analysis of clinical and nominally significant changes on the BRIEF and the SSIS were conducted by obtaining the reliable change index (RCI). The findings of this study indicated that VSM is a viable intervention for addressing aggressive behavior among at-risk elementary-aged students. Improvements in behavior were observed for seven out of eight participants, particularly among participants who displayed more aggression at baseline. Teachers also reported clinically significant changes in behavior for some participants on the BRIEF and the Problem Behaviors scale on the SSIS; however, the VSM intervention did not affect parent ratings on those same scales nor did it affect the Social Skills scale on the SSIS, which may reflect the items comprising those scales. These findings demonstrate that school psychologists can use VSM as a secondary prevention tool in working with students who display aggressive behaviors; however, it is recommended that school psychologists are cognizant of the methods used to evaluate the effectiveness of VSM among at-risk students, who may not display significant behavioral deficits.

Book The Effects of Video Self modeling on the Compliance Rates of High School Students with Developmental Disabilities

Download or read book The Effects of Video Self modeling on the Compliance Rates of High School Students with Developmental Disabilities written by Jacob Ammon Aukai Figueira and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People with developmental disabilities must develop the ability to maintain socially acceptable behavior in order to become contributing, accepted members of society at large. Research indicates that compliance, or following directions, is a keystone behavior, which, if learned, may significantly decrease the occurrence of behavior difficulties in students. Many studies of individuals with disabilities have shown a dramatic increase across a wide range of academic and social skills using video self-modeling (VSM), a technique in which students watch edited videos of themselves performing skills correctly or at high rates. Despite the importance of compliance for individuals with disabilities and the success of video self-modeling, little research has been done regarding the effect of VSM on compliance. In addition, VSM has been used mainly with elementary school-age students. This multiple baseline study examined the effect of video self-modeling on the rates of compliance in three high school-age students with developmental disabilities. Participants[alpha] compliancy rates increased after implementing video self-modeling. Mean latency to compliance also decreased for all participants. Study results indicate that video self-modeling may be an effective method for increasing compliance and decreasing compliance latency in high school students with developmental disabilities.

Book Complex Problem Solving Beyond the Psychometric Approach

Download or read book Complex Problem Solving Beyond the Psychometric Approach written by Wolfgang Schoppek and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex problem solving (CPS) and related topics such as dynamic decision-making (DDM) and complex dynamic control (CDC) represent multifaceted psychological phenomena. In abroad sense, CPS encompasses learning, decision-making, and acting in complex and dynamic situations. Moreover, solutions to problems that people face in such situations are often generated in teams or groups. This adds another layer of complexity to the situation itself because of the emerging issues that arise from the social dynamics of group interactions. This framing of CPS means that it is not a single construct that can be measured by using a particular type of CPS task (e.g. minimal complex system tests), which is a view taken by the psychometric community. The proposed approach taken here is that because CPS is multifaceted, multiple approaches need to be taken to fully capture and understand what it is and how the different cognitive processes associated with it complement each other.Thus, this Research Topic is aimed at showcasing the latest work in the fields of CPS, as well as DDM and CDC that takes a holist approach to investigating and theorizing about these abilities. The collection of articles encompasses conceptual approaches as well as experimental and correlational studies involving established or new tools to examine CPS, DDM and CDC. This work contributes to answering questions about what strategies and what general knowledge can be transferred from one type of complex and dynamic situation to another, what learning conditions result in transferable knowledge and skills, and how these features can be trained.
