“…The term observational learning is defined as a “form of learning wherein an observer watches a model and develops hypotheses (or self-generated rules) about a set of behaviors that are more likely to be successful, which in turn serve to influence the observer’s future behaviors” (Ervin et al, 2018, p. 107). In the early stages of learning a practical task, the learner’s mind is occupied with matching the cognitive and motor demands of the new task.…”

New learning and teaching techniques are required to reduce the length and costs of flight training while increasing its quality, such as observational learning, also known as backseating in aviation training. This study investigates the opportunities and challenges associated with backseating in an aircraft when another student is learning to fly. An ethnographic study of a flight school in Australia was conducted via observation and in-depth interviews. The results show opportunities such as learning from common mistakes, recognizing patterns, and reinforcing struggling areas in a stress-free environment, without any extra costs. The reported concerns included weight limits and regulatory issues, student nervousness when observed, and insufficient time to backseat flights. For backseating to be adopted, regulatory ambiguities should be addressed.

“…Another method of teaching motor skills is Behavior Skills Training (BST), which encompasses a combination of other teaching strategies. BST is a four‐component treatment package that includes (a) instruction, (b) modeling, (c) practice, and (d) feedback (Davis et al., 2019; Ervin et al., 2018). During the instruction piece, a description of the target behavior, the importance of the target behavior, and how it should be completed is provided.…”

Motor skills are important for everyone as they are linked to one's amount of physical activity. Recreational motor skills are especially important for students with disabilities so they can participate in games and activities with their same‐age peers. However, many individuals with disabilities are not proficient in these skills. The purpose of this multiple baseline across skills study was to determine the effects of behavioral skills training (BST) on middle school students with disabilities' (age 12–14 years old) kicking, catching, and throwing a ball. Three students participated in the study. All participants had a diagnosis of both intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. Findings revealed that implementation of BST did improve the participants' recreational motor skills. Results also suggested that for some students, generalization across skills can occur when using BST. Implications for practice and suggestions for future research are provided.

“…In another BST study with peers as interventionists, Ervin et al (2018) trained peer models to appropriately respond to target students' disruptive behaviors. The BST intervention consisted of a discussion about the reason for the disruptive behaviors and the importance of responding appropriately; modeling the appropriate responses; roleplaying; and providing corrective feedback.…”

Barton (2020) taught preschool peer buddies the "Stay, Play, Talk" strategy to socially engage preschoolers with ASD during play time. The interventionist used modeling, role-playing, and prompting (visual and verbal) to teach peer buddies to stay close to their friend, bring a toy, initiate interactive play, and talk about the toy they are playing with (e.g., "The car goes fast."). Results demonstrated increases in social interactions for all participants as well as maintenance of the strategy after fading adult supports. Peer-mediated interventions (PMI) have a long history of empirical support demonstrating improved social, academic, and functional skills for students with a range of disabilities (e.g., Dart,
