Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of adult-as-model and sibling-as-model video modelling procedures for an individual with autism who demonstrated limited imitation skills.

Methods: This study assessed the imitation ability of Matthew, a 15 year-old boy with autism, and then used video modelling, with his sibling and an adult as models, in order to teach him to match coins, respond to questions in a group discussion time and prepare a snack of noodles.

Results: Matthew seldom responded to imitative opportunities in the assessment. Also, minimal changes in his ability to perform the target behaviours resulted from either of the video modelling conditions.

Conclusion: An individual's imitation skills are an important pre-requisite for successful video modelling intervention.

Propósito: Investigar la efectividad de un video modelo de un adulto y un video modelo de un hermano como procedimiento para un individuo con autismo quien demostró limitadas habilidades de imitación.

Métodos: Este estudio valoro la capacidad de imitación de Mathew un joven de 15 años con autismo usando un video modelo de su hermano y un video modelo de un adulto con el propósito de enseñarle a ordenar monedas, responder a preguntas en un grupo en discusión y preparar fideos.
