Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec id="jaba223-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>Graphing is socially significant for behavior analysts; however, graphing can be difficult to learn. Video modeling (VM) may be a useful instructional method but lacks evidence for effective teaching of computer skills. A between‐groups design compared the effects of VM, text‐based instruction, and no instruction on graphing performance. Participants who used VM constructed graphs significantly faster and with fewer errors than those who used text‐based instruction or no instruction. Implications for instruction are discussed.</p> </sec> </abstract>
