Video Modeling & Video Prompting

how VM & VP interventions are used to teach living skills to individuals with autism making them more independent citizens

Learning challenges

• impairments in attention
• verbal information processing
• visual v. auditory processing
• poor focus on salient features
• preference for visual

Why Video?

"...builds on processing preference of individuals with ASDs, while increasing independence through learning new skills."

(Gardner & Wolfe 2013)

VM

VP

review of 13 studies

Perspective

• 1st/POV v. 3rd/spectator
• POV was most common
• better performance w/ POV

Video Length

• VM: 18sec - 2min, 43sec
• VP: 4sec-30sec
• VP better given limited attn
• VM & VP most effective

Voiceover

• VP & VM w/ voiceover
• produce better learning

Error Correction

• s/b immediate
• least-to-most prompting
• 3-step prompt hierarchy

Prompt Fading

• maintain progress
• not reliant on VP

Conclusions

• Chunked VP most effective
• POV over spectator
• simple verbal reinforcement
• guided, immediate feedback
• need research on quality
