Efficacy of Point-of-View Video Modeling

Abstract

Video-based modeling (VBM), a category of video-based instruction (VBI), is the process of recording a model engaged in a behavior with the intended goal that the video will be viewed and the desired behavior imitated (Delano, 2007;Hitchcock, Dowrick, & Prater, 2003). VBM has proven to be effective for teaching and improving a variety of skills for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental disabilities (DD; Bellini &

The Effectiveness of Point-of-View Video Modeling as a Social Skills Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

“…Despite the evidence supporting the use of point-of-view video models as an effective intervention for individuals with ASD, VMs employing adults, peers, and VSMs are the most frequently used intervention for social skills instruction (Fragale 2014;Mason et al 2013). In a meta-analysis of the efficacy of point-of-view video modeling, Mason et al (2013) identified a study by Tetreault and Lerman (2010) as the only study which examined point-of-view video modeling and social skills.…”

“…In a meta-analysis of the efficacy of point-of-view video modeling, Mason et al (2013) identified a study by Tetreault and Lerman (2010) as the only study which examined point-of-view video modeling and social skills. Mason et al suggested that the effectiveness of point-of-view video modeling in teaching social skills was inconclusive given the limited research.…”

“…In addition, individuals with ASD frequently struggle with attending to important and relevant cues in their environment (Haney 2013). Video modeling also aims to help children with ASD better identify significant cues by limiting extraneous stimuli shown in the video (Barton et al 2012;Mason et al 2013).…”

“…VM may be presented in two common ways, which are both effective for individuals with ASD (Mason et al 2013;Sancho et al 2010). Video priming occurs when the individual is presented with the entire video prior to imitating and practicing the desired skill or behavior.…”

“…Video priming occurs when the individual is presented with the entire video prior to imitating and practicing the desired skill or behavior. Video prompting involves segmenting the video into a task analysis in order to scaffold the learning of a targeted skill or behavior (Mason et al 2013). …”
