★ The Verdict

This is a 2004 map of 80 old articles, not a new experiment.

✓ Read this if BCBAs who hunt for forgotten video-modeling or social-skills papers.
✗ Skip if Anyone looking for fresh data or effect sizes.

01Research in Context

01

What this study did

Fournier et al. (2004) wrote short notes on 80 articles. The articles came from the old JSLP-ABA journal. The goal was to show how speech, language, and behavior fields overlap.

Each note gives a one-paragraph summary. No new data were collected.

02

What they found

The paper is an annotated list, not an experiment. It does not report new results. It simply maps what was published up to 2004.

03

How this fits with other research

Keenan et al. (2021) plan to do a big Campbell review on video modeling for social skills. Their future meta-analysis will include the very articles Fournier et al. (2004) listed. The 2004 list acts like a seed file for the 2021 review.

Aal Ismail et al. (2022) already did a systematic review on teaching social initiations. Their search would pick up any single-case studies that Fournier et al. (2004) noted. The 2022 paper gives effect sizes; the 2004 paper only gives titles and short notes.

Whitehouse et al. (2014) used the same annotated-bibliography style but focused on newer developmental-disability studies. Both papers help busy BCBAs scan the literature fast. The 2014 list is more current; the 2004 list captures a now-dead journal.

04

Why it matters

If you want to see what social-skills articles existed before Google Scholar made search easy, open this 2004 list. Circle any video-modeling titles that still look useful. Then run those same titles through the newer systematic reviews by Keenan et al. (2021) or Aal Ismail et al. (2022) to see if stronger evidence now exists. This saves you from digging through dead journals by hand.

03Original abstract

The open-source Journal of Speech and Language Pathology-Applied Behavior Analysis (JSLP-ABA) was published online from 2006 to 2010. We present an annotated bibliography of 80 articles published in the now-defunct journal with the aim of representing its scholarly content to readers of The Analysis of Verbal Behavior. We hope this effort will stimulate discussion, research, and treatment applications with respect to disorders of speech, language, hearing, swallowing, and voice and that collaborative efforts may be fostered between the two professions represented by JSLP-ABA: speech-language pathology and applied behavior analysis.
