Incremental Rehearsal
Study: Burns (2007)

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 Full Bobble

Describe how students were selected to participate in the study:
Each student was in third grade and was diagnosed with a specific learning disability in reading by school personnel using state guidelines. In addition, each student had a multidisciplinary evaluation team assessment in the previous 2 years, had full-scale IQ standard scores between 90 and 110, reading decoding age-based standard scores between 70 and 80, and a current individualized educational program that included 1 to 2 hours of special education support each day and a short-term objective that addressed reading fluency.

Describe how students were identified as being at risk for academic failure (AI) or as having emotional or behavioral difficulties (BI):
Students were diagnosed with a learning disability in reading.

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?
100.0%

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
  • designation of severe problem behaviors on a validated scale or through observation?
%

Specify which condition is the submitted intervention:
Preteaching words with Incremental Rehearsal.

Specify which condition is the control condition:
There is one control condition, which consisted of business as usual plus a one-on-one guided reading lesson three times per week.

For any substantively (e.g., effect size ≥ 0.25 for pretest or demographic differences) or statistically significant (e.g., p < 0.05) pretest differences between groups in the descriptions below, please describe the extent to which these differences are related to the impact of the treatment. For example, if analyses were conducted to determine that outcomes from this study are due to the intervention and not demographic characteristics, please describe the results of those analyses here.

There were no significant pretest differences for the two groups.

Design Full Bobble

What method was used to determine students' placement in treatment/control groups?
Random
Please describe the assignment method or the process for defining treatment/comparison groups.
One student from each [included] resource room was randomly selected for inclusion in the study. Next progress in the local reading curriculum was assessed with weekly CBM probes, using the third-grade general curriculum reading basal for 3 weeks in September 2003. CBM data were also collected for students who participated in the same resource room as the selected student, attended the same sending general education classroom, and who spent a matched amount of time participating in special education services. Next, to assure equivalency between students, the student whose CBM median baseline point most closely matched the original student’s median baseline point was also selected to participate in the study. Thus, 30 pairs of students were established from which one child was randomly selected to receive the treatment and one was randomly selected as a control student. One student from the treatment group moved from the district leaving 58 students total or 29 pairs.

Describe when and how fidelity of treatment information was obtained.
Each interventionist was observed twice with a fidelity checklist.

Effect Size

Effect size represents the how much performance changed because of the intervention. The larger the effect size, the greater the impact participating in the intervention had.

According to guidelines from the What Works Clearinghouse, an effect size of 0.25 or greater is “substantively important.” Additionally, effect sizes that are statistically significant are more trustworthy than effect sizes of the same magnitude that are not statistically significant.

Effect Size Dial

The purpose of the effect size dial is to help users understand the strength of a tool relative to other tools on the Tools Chart.

  • The range represents where most effect sizes fall within reading or math based on effect sizes from tools on the Tools Chart.
  • The orange pointer shows the average effect size for this study.
