Deficits in the study skills of college students can lead to lower academic performance and disqualification. Although behavior analytic research has evaluated strategies for improving student performance in the classroom, no studies have evaluated methods for improving study skills outside of the classroom. We evaluated the effects of a training package that consisted of instructions, written checklists, picture models, and performance feedback using a multiple probe design across skill sets of college students. We taught four college students how to set up their study environment, take notes on readings, and self-test using their notes from readings. All participants exhibited improvements in targeted study skills during training, and three of four participants achieved mastery within two training sessions per skill set. Acquisition of targeted skill sets corresponded with increased scores on quizzes that assessed learning from the readings. Moreover, participants found the goals and procedures acceptable and the outcomes satisfactory.

使用清单培训向大学生教授学习技巧

大学生学习技能的缺陷会导致学习成绩下降和被取消资格。尽管行为分析研究评估了提高学生课堂表现的策略，但没有研究评估提高课堂外学习技能的方法。我们使用跨大学生技能集的多探针设计评估了包含说明、书面清单、图片模型和绩效反馈的培训包的效果。我们教了四位大学生如何设置学习环境、做阅读笔记以及使用阅读笔记进行自我测试。所有参与者在培训期间都表现出目标学习技能的提高，四名参与者中有三人在每个技能集的两个培训课程中实现了掌握。获得有针对性的技能组对应于评估从阅读中学习的测验分数的增加。此外，参与者认为目标和程序可以接受，结果令人满意。
