Instructive feedback is an approach to improve the efficiency of teaching that involves providing additional information during an instruction or praise. For example, when teaching the label “apple,” the interventionist might provide the praise, “It is an apple! An apple is a fruit!” This study involved teaching children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) popular superheroes within a small group using an instructive feedback approach. The superheroes superpowers were provided as instructive feedback. Results showed the efficiency of the approach in that the children learned their targeted superheroes, their superpowers through instructional feedback, and their peers’ targets through observational learning.
