Incremental Rehearsal
Study: Codding et al. (2010)

Summary

A student is presented with flashcards containing unknown items added in to a group of known items. Presenting known information along with unknown can increase retention of the newly learned items, behavioral momentum and resulting time on task. Research shows that this technique can be used with sight/vocabulary words, simple math facts, letter names, and survival words/signs.

Participants Empty Bobble

Describe how students were selected to participate in the study:
The participant was selected because she was referred to the grade level student support team for difficulty in basic multiplication facts.

Describe how students were identified as being at risk for academic failure (AI) or as having emotional/behavioral difficulties (BI):
The student was identified as at risk for academic failure because she was referred for support due to difficulty with basic multiplication facts. Moreover, performance for digits correct per minute on the baseline probes fell in the frustration range for problem sets A (M = 3.8), B (M = 21.1), and C (M = 22.8).

ACADEMIC INTERVENTION: What percentage of participants were at risk, as measured by one or more of the following criteria:
  • below the 30th percentile on local or national norm, or
  • identified disability related to the focus of the intervention?
0.0%

BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTION: What percentage of participants were at risk, as measured by one or more of the following criteria:
  • emotional disability label,
  • placed in an alternative school/classroom,
  • non-responsive to Tiers 1 and 2, or

Design Half Bobble

Please describe the study design:
The study used a multiple-baseline, multiple probe across problem sets design. Following baseline each problem set was targeted sequentially beginning with problem set A. Three follow-up sessions were conducted for problem sets A and B. Follow-up data could not be obtained for problem set C as the school year ended.

Clarify and provide a detailed description of the treatment in the submitted program/intervention:
Standard procedures were followed according to Burns (2005). Prior to each session, all 30 unknown cards were presented to Sarah in order to provide a measure of retention from session to session. Any cards answered incorrectly, not at all, or correctly after 2 s had lapsed were counted as unknown. Known and unknown facts were recorded prior to each intervention session. A random selection of nine known facts was identified from each pile. Working in problem sets beginning with A, the first unknown fact with the answer was read aloud to Sarah by the interventionist after which Sarah was asked to restate the fact with the answer. Next, the interventionist presented Sarah with the first known fact. This sequence was repeated so that the first unknown fact was presented followed by the first and second known facts until all nine known facts were practiced after the first unknown fact (see Burns 2005). Once this sequence was completed, the first unknown fact became the first known fact (replacing the last known fact) for the presentation of the second unknown fact. Unknown facts were presented and rehearsed individually as described above until the sequence was completed or three errors occurred (Burns 2005). The average number of items rehearsed each session was six. Following each session two or three of the following were presented: (a) problem set A probe, (b) problem set B probe, (c) problem set C probe, (d) fraction probe, (e) word problem probe, or (f) subskill mastery multiplication probe facts 3–9.

Clarify what procedures occurred during the control/baseline condition (third, competing conditions are not considered; if you have a third, competing condition [e.g., multi-element single subject design with a third comparison condition], in addition to your control condition, identify what the competing condition is [data from this competing condition will not be used]):
The baseline condition was business as usual.

Please describe how replication of treatment effect was demonstrated (e.g., reversal or withdrawal of intervention, across participants, across settings)
Replication was shown with a multiple-baseline approach across probe sets.

Please indicate whether (and how) the design contains at least three demonstrations of experimental control (e.g., ABAB design, multiple baseline across three or more participants).
The three demonstrations of experimental control occurred by having three probe sets that were implemented in a multiple-baseline design.

If the study is a multiple baseline, is it concurrent or non-concurrent?

What were the background, experience, training, and ongoing support of the instructors or interventionists?
The interventionist was a female graduate student in school psychology. She was trained in the assessment and intervention procedures by the first author.

Describe when and how fidelity of treatment information was obtained.
A typed intervention protocol consisting of scripted instructions for each step contained in the incremental rehearsal procedure was created according to procedures outlined by Burns (2005). An identical protocol was provided to an independent observer. Procedural integrity was assessed by an independent observer during 23% of the sessions. A checklist, which was identical to the protocols used by the interventionist, was created to assess procedural integrity for each intervention. The checklist contained the following information: (a) the intervention steps, (b) dependent variable administration steps, and (c) the materials required. Every intervention and dependent variable administration step was described in detail and included scripts that the interventionist was to follow. The independent observer was required to record a checkmark for presence of the required materials and when the intervention and assessment probe steps were correctly implemented by the experimenter. The number of steps checked by the independent observer was divided by the total number of steps listed for the procedure and then multiplied by 100.

What were the results on the fidelity-of-treatment implementation measure?
Procedural integrity across observed sessions was 99%.

Was the fidelity measure also used in baseline or comparison conditions?
No.

Measures and Results

Measures Targeted : Full Bobble
Measures Broader : Dash

Study measures are classified as targeted, broader, or administrative data according to the following definitions:

  • Targeted measures
    Assess outcomes, such as competencies or skills, that the program was directly targeted to improve.
    • In the academic domain, targeted measures typically are not the very items taught but rather novel items structured similarly to the content addressed in the program. For example, if a program taught word-attack skills, a targeted measure would be decoding of pseudo words. If a program taught comprehension of cause-effect passages, a targeted measure would be answering questions about cause-effect passages structured similarly to those used during intervention, but not including the very passages used for intervention.
    • In the behavioral domain, targeted measures evaluate aspects of external or internal behavior the program was directly targeted to improve and are operationally defined.
  • Broader measures
    Assess outcomes that are related to the competencies or skills targeted by the program but not directly taught in the program.
    • In the academic domain, if a program taught word-level reading skill, a broader measure would be answering questions about passages the student reads. If a program taught calculation skill, a broader measure would be solving word problems that require the same kinds of calculation skill taught in the program.
    • In the behavioral domain, if a program taught a specific skill like on-task behavior in one classroom, a broader measure would be on-task behavior in another setting.
  • Administrative data measures apply only to behavioral intervention tools and are measures such as office discipline referrals (ODRs) and graduation rates, which do not have psychometric properties as do other, more traditional targeted or broader measures.

If you have excluded a variable or data that are reported in the study being submitted, explain the rationale for exclusion:
The study also collected data from a pre- and post-test general outcome measure, a fraction probe, a word problem probe, and a subskill mastery multiplication probe facts 3–9. However, those data were not displayed experimentally. There were also maintenance data for two other students, but those data were excluded here because they did not have three demonstrations of effect.

Results Full Bobble

Describe the method of analyses you used to determine whether the intervention condition improved relative to baseline phase (e.g., visual inspection, computation of change score, mean difference):
The study reported visual analysis.

Please present results in terms of within and between phase patterns. Data on the following data characteristics must be included: level, trend, variability, immediacy of the effect, overlap, and consistency of data patterns across similar conditions. Submitting only means and standard deviations for phases is not sufficient. Data must be included for each outcome measure (targeted, broader, and administrative if applicable) that was described above.
Introduction of incremental rehearsal produced immediate level changes for problem sets A and B and a gradual increase for problem set C for both digits correct per minute (DCPM) and percentage of items correct. Baseline performance for DCPM fell in the frustration range for problem sets A (M = 3.8), B (M = 21.1), and C (M = 22.8). Baseline DCPM data were stable for problem set A but yielded slightly increasing trends for problem sets B and C. Baseline data for percentage of correct problems was variable for sets B and C, but with a level trend. Percentage data for set A declined. The treatment condition resulted in stable percent data that closely approximated or equaled 100%. Consistent with the percentage accuracy data, introduction of incremental rehearsal produced level changes for problem sets A (M = 30.0) and B (M = 48.7) and a gradual increase in trend for problem set C (M = 44.6). Performance across all three problem sets met mastery level criteria ([49 DCPM; Burns et al. 2006). There was 100% nonoverlap for both DCPM and accuracy for sets A and B, and 75% for both for set C.
