Games as a measure of reading and writing generalization after computerized teaching of reading skills

Abstract

Behavior Analysis is usually accused of not being able to account for the generalization of verbal behavior that is present in linguistically competent individuals. However, several behavior analytic studies investigate this theme, and gamification has been seen as a useful way to study generalization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate reading and writing generalization in games, after these behaviors were taught through the program Learning to Read in Small Steps. Participants were four children between 7 and 12 years old who had reading and writing deficits. The experimental design was a pre-posttest design that encompassed five phases. Performance in probes suggests generalization of reading and writing skills to new activities (games) and responses. This study represents a small step in a systematic understanding of how games can be used to assess behavior change.

Uso do procedimento de Constructed Response Matching to Sample : uma revisão da literatura

“…O ensino por unidades verbais mínimas (Skinner, 1992) tem sido apontado como mais eficiente em gerar repertórios novos, principalmente quando tais unidades são sílabas e letras. Observa-se que quatro estudos envolvendo o ensino de construção de palavras em língua portuguesa utilizaram a sílaba como unidade mínima (Domeniconi, de Rose & Huziwara, 2007;Sella, Tenório, Bandini & Bandini, 2016;Sudo, Soares, de Souza & Haydu, 2008;Zanco & Moroz, 2015), embora dois deles (Sella, Tenório, Bandini e Bandini, 2016; Zanco e Moroz, 2015) também tenham reportado etapas de construção pela seleção de letras.…”

Avaliação de um jogo de tabuleiro no ensino de palavras com encontros consonantais

“…Quanto ao uso de jogos para a condução das sessões de teste, quando os dados de Suzuki e Souza (2019) são comparados aos deste estudo, verifica-se menor variabilidade no desempenho das crianças nas sessões de teste deste estudo. Jogos podem ser usados para avaliar mudanças comportamentais e contribuem para a menor variabilidade nas avaliações e maior engajamento dos participantes (Gris, Alves, Assis, & Souza, 2017;Sella, Tenório, Bandini, & Bandini, 2016).…”

ICT-Driven Writing and Motor Skills: A Review

“…The strengthening of early writing depends to a great extent on a good coordination of the motor, perceptive and cognitive processes. Motivating children for this accomplishment includes the elaboration of creative texts relating to their tastes, interests and game routines (Liao et al, 2015;Sella et al, 2016).…”
