In the present study, we sought to extend the current literature on utilizing behavioral skills training (BST) to teach practitioners how to implement functional analyses (FA). We used a non-concurrent multiple baseline design across ten participants to measure the effects of a remote BST package on accuracy of implementing FA procedures. The entire remote BST package was delivered via secure remote technology. Each participant experienced four phases which included baseline (only instructions with a simulated client), BST (instructions, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback with a simulated client), post-training probes (probes with a simulated client), and in situ probes (probes with actual clients). All participants increased their accuracy in implementing FAs during the remote BST phase. During post-training probes with a simulated client and in situ probes with actual clients, eight of the ten participants maintained their performance at or above mastery criterion. Two of the ten participants needed additional coaching and training. These results suggest that the use of remote technology for training purposes could be a cost-effective and feasible solution to increase the quality of services and number of trained professionals in underserved areas.

远程行为技能培训对进行功能分析的影响

在本研究中，我们试图扩展有关利用行为技能培训（BST）的当前文献，以教导从业人员如何实施功能分析（FA）。我们使用了十个参与者的非并行多基线设计来衡量远程BST软件包对实施FA程序的准确性的影响。整个远程BST软件包都是通过安全的远程技术交付的。每个参与者经历了四个阶段，包括基线（仅针对模拟客户的说明），BST（针对模拟客户的指令，建模，演练和反馈），培训后探查（针对模拟客户的探查）和现场探究（与实际客户进行调查）。所有参与者都提高了在远程BST阶段实施FA的准确性。在对模拟客户进行训练后探查和对实际客户进行就地探查期间，十名参与者中有八名保持了他们的表现达到或超过精通标准。十个参与者中有两个需要额外的指导和培训。这些结果表明，将远程技术用于培训目的可以是一种成本有效且可行的解决方案，以提高服务质量和服务不足地区受训专业人员的数量。
