Awareness training can produce decreases in nervous habits during public speaking. A systematic replication of Montes et al. (2020) was conducted to evaluate the independent and additive effects of awareness training components (i.e., response description, response detection) on speech disfluencies during public speaking. We extended prior research by evaluating response description alone, delivering the intervention virtually, using novel videos and speech topics during training, and measuring collateral effects on untargeted responses and speech rate. Response description was sufficient at reducing speech disfluencies for 4 of 9 participants. Response detection (video training) was necessary for 2 participants, and the subsequent addition of response detection (in-vivo training) was necessary for 3 participants. Reductions were maintained during follow-up and generalization probes for most participants. Collateral effects of awareness training components were idiosyncratic. A post-hoc analysis revealed that response description, when effective as a stand-alone intervention, may be more efficient than the full awareness training package.
意识训练可以减少演讲时的紧张习惯。本研究对 Montes 等人（2020 年）的研究进行了系统复制，以评估意识训练成分（即反应描述、反应检测）对演讲不流畅的独立和附加影响。我们通过单独评估反应描述、在虚拟环境中进行干预、在训练中使用新的视频和演讲主题，以及测量对非目标反应和语速的附带影响，扩展了先前的研究。对于 9 名参与者中的 4 名，反应描述足以减少演讲不流畅。对于 2 名参与者，反应检测（视频训练）是必要的，对于 3 名参与者，随后添加反应检测（现场训练）也是必要的。大多数参与者在随访和泛化测试中保持了减少。意识训练成分的附带影响是因人而异的。事后分析表明，当作为独立干预措施时，反应描述可能比完整的意识训练方案更有效率。
