1. List the 4 goals of this research study.
2. What is "in situ" assessment?
3. Interobserver agreement is discussed in the textbook on pgs 101-104.

(a) Describe the process as used in the current article.

(b) Describe how this agreement was calculated in the current article.

4. List the rating method used to score each participant's responses when finding a gun in his/her natural environment.

5. What was the independent variable and describe how it was conducted.

6. The total time spent coaching each peer trainer to conduct BST sessions ranged from 90 minutes to 115 minutes, with a mean score of 102.5 minutes. Explain why the number of minutes varied.

7. Review Figure 1 in the current article. Which child's baseline score was consistently perfect?

8. In Figure 1 which child's score (after training) improved the greatest from his/her first assessment (after training) to the second assessment?

9. Review Figure 2 in the current article. Study the data collected for each of the six participants during the maintenance phase of the project. It varies significantly.

(a) Briefly report how eachparticipant performed during the maintenance phase.

(b) What variables do you think may account for these differences?

10. In evaluating the performance of all participants in this study, do you think the 4 goals of the study were accomplished? Why or why not?
