This study evaluated the efficacy of remote video-based behavioral skills training (BST) on teaching public speaking behaviors to 4 participants. A multiple-baseline design across speech behaviors was used to evaluate the effects of the training. Remote video-based BST was effective at increasing public speaking behaviors for all participants. In addition, performance generalized to an increased audience size. An external expert in communications rated the participants as more effective public speakers following training. All participants reported satisfaction with the training and expressed greater comfort, confidence, overall ability, and less anxiety as a public speaker following training. We also measured potential collateral effects of teaching public speaking behaviors on speech disfluencies. Although remote video-based BST was effective for all participants, it did not produce a change in the rate of speech disfluencies. Our findings indicate that public speaking behaviors can be taught using a remote video-based BST package.
本研究评估了基于远程视频的行为技能训练（BST）对4名参与者进行公众演讲行为教学的效果。采用跨言语行为的多基线设计来评估训练效果。基于远程视频的BST对所有参与者增加公众演讲行为均有效。此外，表现还推广到了增加的观众规模上。一位外部沟通专家在训练后将参与者评为更有效的公众演讲者。所有参与者均表示对训练满意，并表示训练后作为公众演讲者感觉更自在、更自信、整体能力更强且焦虑感更低。我们还测量了教授公众演讲行为对言语不流畅性的潜在附带影响。尽管基于远程视频的BST对所有参与者均有效，但它并未使言语不流畅率发生变化。我们的研究结果表明，可以使用基于远程视频的BST套餐来教授公众演讲行为。
