A Rapid Review of Training Future Behavior Analysts Through Computer-Generated Simulations: Challenges and Opportunities in Using Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.
Review in Behavior analysis in practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This rapid review explores the potential of computer-generated simulations in training future behavior analysts. While competencies in behavior analysis are critical for improving client outcomes, gaps remain in the availability and fidelity of training methods within higher education. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual simulations, offer innovative solutions to address these challenges. This review synthesizes literature from 2019 to 2024, examining the role of computer-generated simulations in teaching essential skills at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The findings summarize existing research, identify key variables influencing training effectiveness, and highlight implications for future educational practices. By leveraging AI and virtual reality (VR), educators may enhance experiential learning, promote culturally responsive care, and improve skill acquisition for aspiring behavior analysts. This review provides recommendations to guide future research and the ethical integration of AI technologies in behavior analytic education.
