Abstract
Matrix training consists of arranging targets for instruction to promote fine-grained stimulus control resulting in the establishment of skills without direct training. Recent reviews of the matrix training literature (Curiel et al., 2020a, b.; Kemmerer et al., 2021) highlighted the efficacy and efficiency of the approach with learners with and without disabilities. These reviews noted substantial variations in procedures across studies, suggesting the approach may be flexibly deployed across content areas and teaching procedures. This outcome is positive for practitioners as they may customize matrix training to meet the unique needs of their clients. However, it also necessitates decision making to sort through the variations in the literature. This tutorial was developed to help practitioners weigh various considerations when using matrix training. Tools and resources are provided to illustrate and accelerate adoption into practice settings.
