Training supervisors to provide performance feedback using video modeling with voiceover instructions: A replication

Carroll et al. (2022) asked supervisors to watch a five-minute video. The video showed a manager giving correct feedback to a therapist.

A voice-over explained each step while the model acted. The researchers then checked if the supervisors could give equally clear feedback.

They used a multiple-baseline design across people to be sure any change came from the video.

After one viewing every supervisor gave accurate feedback. Their feedback then helped therapists run programs with fewer errors.

The new skills stuck around for at least one month with no extra training.

Preas et al. (2023) used the same VMVO package to teach therapists how to run telehealth caregiver training. Both studies show the clip works for different staff skills.

Gutierrez et al. (2016) also added voice-over to videos, but they taught play skills to preschoolers with autism. The concept travels from kids to adults.

Hansard et al. (2018) and Al-Nasser et al. (2019) got high fidelity too, yet they used self-instruction packets instead of video. VMVO gives you a faster, watch-and-go option.

You can replace long lectures with a five-minute video and still get solid feedback from your supervisors. Queue the clip in your next staff meeting, have managers watch once, then send them to observe therapists. You should see cleaner programs the same day and fewer errors for weeks.
