About the "Current Autism Research" feature:
"Current Autism Research" lists articles about autism that have been recently published. To read these articles, subscriptions to the journals in which they are published can be purchased. However, this can become expensive, and another way to obtain these articles is through local college and university libraries. Many of these libraries contain a section entitled, "Periodicals," or something similar, and the journals may be found there in alphabetical order. Often, copies can be made, or you can simply read the journal at the library and take notes. This is a great way for parents, teachers, families, and others to stay current on trends in autism research, and may help you discover new strategies for home, school, or community goals. Note: A listing of research here does not imply an endorsement of the methods or procedures by Positively Autism. Please thoroughly research any program or method that you are considering, obtaining any necessary help from professionals familiar with your situation. Title: "Feedback Types in Programmed Instruction: A Systematic Review" Author(s): Wendy Jaehnig and Matthew Miller Journal: Psychological Record Issue: Spring 2007 (Volume 57, Issue 2) Summary of Abstract: This article describes research about the effectiveness of various types of feedback used in programmed instruction. Also includes recommendations for future research in this area. Title: "Programmed Instruction for Teaching Java: Consideration of Learn Unit Frequency and Rule-Test Performance" Author(s): Henry H. Emurian Journal: Behavior Analyst Today Issue: January 2007 (Volume 8, Issue 1) Summary of Abstract: Research into the effectiveness of a web-based programmed instruction system for college students learning computer programming. Title: "Programmed Instruction: Construction Responding, Discrimination Responding, and Highlighted Keywords" Author(s): Matthew Miller and Richard Malott Journal: Journal of Behavioral Education Issue: June 2006 (Volume 15, Issue 2) Summary of Abstract: This study compared the effects of various types of instructional materials: overt construction responses, overt discrimination responses, covert reading of a text with highlighted words, and covert reading of a typical text. Overall, the items requiring overt responses produced greater learning than did the covert materials, but they also took more time to complete. Title: "Learning from Programmed Instruction: Examining Implications for Modern Instructional Technology" Author(s): Jason K. McDonald, Stephen C. Yanchar, and Russell T. Osguthorpe Journal: Educational Technology Research & Development Issue: 2005 (Volume 53, Issue 2) Summary of Abstract: This article discusses similarities between modern instructional technology (in this case, online learning), and programmed instruction. Recommendations for instructional technologists are also included. Title: "Effects of Response Cost in Computerized Programmed Instruction" Author(s): Kevin J. Munson and John Crosbie Journal: Psychological Record Issue: Spring 1998 (Volume 48, Issue 2) Summary of Abstract: This article describes an experiment into whether a response cost procedure would improve performance on programmed instructional materials. An assessment of the cost of this procedure in terms of time requirements and student satisfaction is also presented. Title: "Immediate and Delayed Effects of Imposed Postfeedback Delays in Computerized Programmed Instruction" Author(s): Glenn Kelly and John Crosbie Journal: Psychological Record Issue: Fall 1997 (Volume 47, Issue 4) Summary of Abstract: This study examines the effects of postfeedback delays on performance on programmed instructional materials. An assessment of the cost of this procedure in terms of time requirements and student satisfaction is also presented.

Title: "Individualized Learning Through Programmed Materials" Author(s): Judith C. Reiff Journal: Education Issue: Spring 1980 (Volume 100, Issue 3) Summary of Abstract: This article describes the uses of programmed instruction in individualized learning. Advantages and disadvantages of programmed instruction are also discussed. Title: "Effects of Locus of Control and Type of Reinforcement on Programmed Instruction Performance of Adolescent Boys" Author(s): Mark K. Gregory Journal: Journal of Educational Research Issue: September/October 1976 (Volume 70, Issue 1) Summary of Abstract: The study examined the effects of types of reinforcement and locus of control on the performance of teenage boys on programmed instructional materials. |
