Description

To earn credit, you will be required to read the article and pass a 5-question quiz about it. You can retake the quiz as many times as needed, but you will not receive exactly the same questions each time.

Abstract

The substantial demand for behavior-analytic treatment of early childhood autism has been associated with rapid dissemination of treatment procedures to practitioners and caregivers. This level of demand could plausibly induce premature dissemination of treatments that do not yet have sufficient empirical support. We argue that this might have happened with the use of fluency training for learners with autism and identify four areas of research that are necessary to ensure that dissemination efforts are better matched to the available empirical support for this instructional strategy.

This article is an excellent commentary on the use of fluency training and would be appropriate for someone that is already familiar with the technique and trying to decide if they should use it or not.

I really don't like how a singular error causes your score to be reduced by 2 points. During most quizes it doesn't make a difference because you have to retake the quiz even if you get one wrong, but getting your score reduced by '2' when you only got 1 question incorrect. What it "appears" to be doing is reducing the score by '1' for selecting the incorrect answer and additionally reducing your score by '1' for not selecting the correct answer. Might just be a technology adjustment?

That is not how our quiz scoring works. Some questions, however, have multiple correct answers ("check all that apply" type questions) and are worth multiple points. Thus, on those questions you can have your score reduced by 2 or more points if you do not select 2 or more of the possible correct answers (i.e., your score is not reduced by multiple points for making a "singular error" -- it is reduced by multiple points for making multiple errors). If you believe a quiz is being scored incorrectly, please contact our helpdesk with a description and evidence of your claim.

This article leads me to think more critically about the presentations I sit through at conferences. The questions on the quiz were relevant to the material that I need to retain from this article - not obscure facts that are useless to me later. I will reflect on this material for years to come!
