“…Supplementing these modes of teaching with the use of a simulation technique may enhance students' acquisition of clinical skills. There are many advantages to using computer simulations as a teaching tool, such as the following: (I) students art: able to experience events without risk of harm or damage to themselves or others, (2) unique situations can be explored, (3) it is a timesaving device that allows rapid display of complex phenomena, (4) effective teaching strategies can be easily programmed (e.g., immediate feedback, learner control, and individualized student participation), and (5) students' responses may be readily recorded and compared (Flynn, 1990;Jelovsek, Catanzarite, Price, & Stull, 1989;Jolly, 1982;Jones & Keith, 1983;Kinzie, 1990;Miller, 1984).…”

SIDDS, or simulations in developmental disabilities, is a computer system that provides students with the opportunity to acquire and practice skills in behavioral psychology. During the simulation, the student assumes the role of a psychologist whose professional duties involve the assessment and treatment of the severe problem behavior displayed by a child with a developmental handicap. Following an introduction to the use of the program, SIDDS guides the student/clinician through a series of steps involved in reducing a behavior problem. With the goal of eliminating the client's behavior problem, the student/clinician proceeds through referral, problem identification, assessment, functional hypothesis, and treatment stages. This article describes the content and structure of SIDDS and provides a glimpse of what future developments of this system will entail. REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE IN THE AREA OF EDUCATIONAL SIMULATIONSSimulation programs have been described as "an operating model of central features or elements of a real or proposed system, process, or environment" (Greenblat, 1988, p. 14). They provide a dynamic and life like demonstration of the relationship between variables that affect a phenomenon. In educational settings, the use of a simulation technique allows students to make a decision and then observe the effect of that decision in a particular situation. Simulationprograms are used in a wide range of teaching situations such as medicine (Bidwell, Collins-
