Peer reviewedSerniclaes, Willy; Sprenger-Charolles, Liliane; Carre, Rene; Demonet, Jean-Francois – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2001
This study investigated the relationship between categorical perception and dyslexia by comparing the discrimination responses of 19 children with dyslexia and 17 average readers to sinewave analogues of speech sounds presented as either nonspeech whistles or as speech sounds. The study found an increased perceptibility of within-category…

Peer reviewedStromer, Robert; Mackay, Harry A. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1993
Two students with moderate to severe mental retardation learned delayed matching to sample in which some of the trials involved complex sample stimuli, each consisting of a picture and a printed word. Matching to either the preceding picture or printed word sample was reinforced. Evidence for the formation of equivalence classes was observed.…

Peer reviewedMaydak, Michael; And Others – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1995
This study examined the matching and sequencing of quantities, numerals, and arbitrary forms by two individuals with mental retardation. Results showed that sequence training did not readily lead to new matching performances, unlike prior research with college students. Instead, training in matching to sample yielded emergent sequence production…

Peer reviewedDoyle, Patricia Munson; And Others – Journal of Special Education, 1996
Four students (ages seven to nine) with moderate mental retardation were successfully taught to name photographs of foods using a progressive time delay procedure. Presentation of the supermarket grocery department as part of the discriminative stimulus was effective in increasing the percentage of correct responding. Some generalization occurred…
