Practice

Principles
= what practitioners do
Empirically-Supported Interventions and Best Practice methods tend to address the intervention as the level of practice.
Methods for identifying research-based principles and tactics do not yet have a secure place within the evidence-based practice context.

Strengths of Research-Based Principles Approach
Infinite number of interventionsConceptually systematicAvoid a “collection of tricks”
![Page 9: Trina D. Spencer ABA 2009 Research Based Principles What Practice Can’t Do Without.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e245503460f94b12aab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Strengths of Research-Based Principles Approach
Inform practice when research evidence for interventions is sparseWe can’t do nothingConnect the dots

Strengths of Research-Based Principles Approach
Adapt to local circumstancesPractice dimensions vary across practitioners
and contextsPractitioners apply research findings and adapt
to their specific circumstancePrinciples provide a systematic way in which
this is done

Strengths of Research-Based Principles Approach
Increase sustainability of empirically-supported interventionsUnderstanding the principles behind the intervention
allows the practitioner to adjustWhich features can be adjusted and maintain integrity of
interventionBeing able to adjust can lead to sustained use of
effective interventions

Limitations of Research-Based Principles Approach
It requires a high level of skillExtensive didactic and applied trainingScientist/Practitioner model
![Page 13: Trina D. Spencer ABA 2009 Research Based Principles What Practice Can’t Do Without.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e245503460f94b12aab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Limitations of Research-Based Principles Approach
Practitioner developed interventions have not been validatedMore steps to effective implementationMore assumptions for making generalizationsMore room for error
![Page 14: Trina D. Spencer ABA 2009 Research Based Principles What Practice Can’t Do Without.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e245503460f94b12aab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Limitations of Research-Based Principles ApproachIt is not sufficient for large scale needsCan’t individualize for 500 studentsNeed interventions

Research-Based Principles & EBP
This approach is not widely recognizedLevel of practice – principles & tactics
![Page 16: Trina D. Spencer ABA 2009 Research Based Principles What Practice Can’t Do Without.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e245503460f94b12aab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“Research-Based” Defined
Used by several human service fields including behavior analysts
Often used as an umbrella termAt least some research support
Systematic reviewMeta analysisA few studies
Not operationalized
![Page 17: Trina D. Spencer ABA 2009 Research Based Principles What Practice Can’t Do Without.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e245503460f94b12aab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Process of Identifying Research-Based Principles
“A principle describes a basic behavior-environment relation that has been demonstrated repeatedly in hundreds, even thousands, of experiments.”
“A principle has thorough generality across individual organisms, species, settings, and behaviors.”
– Cooper, Heron, and Heward, 2007
![Page 18: Trina D. Spencer ABA 2009 Research Based Principles What Practice Can’t Do Without.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e245503460f94b12aab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Process of Identifying Research-Based Tactics
A “tactic is a research-based technologically consistent method for changing behavior that is derived from one or more basic principle.”
A tactic has “sufficient generality across subjects, settings, and/or behaviors .”
– Cooper, Heron, and Heward, 2007
![Page 19: Trina D. Spencer ABA 2009 Research Based Principles What Practice Can’t Do Without.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e245503460f94b12aab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Process of Identifying Research-Based Principles and Tactics
Scientific ConsensusoReplication of consistent findingso Peer reviewed journals
ExpertsoText booksoCommon practice
This process is not objective or explicit
![Page 20: Trina D. Spencer ABA 2009 Research Based Principles What Practice Can’t Do Without.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e245503460f94b12aab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Reasons for an Explicit Process
Perceived credibilityAlign with other disciplines
Organizes KnowledgeGuidance to practitionersInform applied research

Identifying Principles and Tactics
DECs Recommended Practices• Professionals monitor child progress based on past
performance as the referent rather than on group norms.
• Family members and professionals jointly develop appropriate family-identified outcomes.
• Consequences for children’s behavior are structured to increase the complexity and duration of children’s play, engagement, appropriate behavior, and learning by using differential reinforcement, response shaping, high-probability procedures, and correspondence training.

Identifying Principles and Tactics
DEC’s Process1. Experience-Based Knowledge – Focus Groups2. Research-Based Knowledge – Literature
Reviews3. Synthesized knowledge and developed
practice recommendations4. Conducted field validation of practices5. Produced and disseminated practice guides

Take Home Points
Practice can’t do without principlesWeaknesses should not be ignoredStrengthen this approach by developing an explicit process for determining research-based principles and tactics
Combine this approach with empirically-supported intervention and best practice approaches
