TAGteach (Teaching with Acoustical Guidance) is an instructional technology that provides learners with immediate feedback to reinforce correct responses during skill acquisition. TAGteach relies on use of an acoustical marker (e.g., a click sound) to signal correct behavior, thereby minimizing or eliminating the need for verbal feedback. By presenting a distinct auditory stimulus to act as a marker, instructors can provide precise and immediate feedback on specific skill components. The purpose of this literature review included systematically examining the existing research on the use of TAGteach for acquiring novel behaviors and skills. We evaluated its effectiveness as an intervention by calculating Tau-U effect sizes and summarized key descriptive variables. Further, we analyzed procedural variations across studies to identify any commonalities and differences in TAGteach implementation. This poster will highlight findings from the review and discuss recommendations for practice/future research.
