Graphing is an important skill that is used across various career fields. Behavior analysts have examined various methods for training individuals to use various graphing software packages (e.g., GraphPad Prism, Microsoft Excel) to manually create graphs. Behavior-analytic techniques, however, have been underused in fields outside of behavior analysis. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to use the graphing tools developed by Lehardy et al. (2021) to create a treatment package featuring the graphing workbook, video tutorials, an itemized graphing checklist, and corrective feedback to train college students to create AB graphs in Microsoft Excel. The current study addressed some of the limitations and comments in the social validity survey of Lehardy et al. by providing the itemized checklist concurrently with the video tutorials. Graphing behavior increased to near 100% levels for all participants with an average session time of 43.58 min. Therefore, the results indicate that this procedure may be effective in increasing graphing skills in less than an hour with students across fields and levels. This study provides further evidence that behavior-analytic techniques are useful in a plethora of scenarios, and we should aim to disseminate these techniques within these various areas. |
