Observational Learning and the Emergence of Symmetry Relations in Teaching Spanish Vocabulary Words to Typically Developing Children

Ramirez, Joline; Rehfeldt, Ruth Anne

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v42 n4 p801-805 Win 2009

One 9-year-old child was taught conditional discriminations between dictated names in Spanish and their corresponding pictures across three stimulus sets while her 10-year-old brother observed. Posttests revealed the emergence of symmetry relations in the form of oral naming skills by both children. (Contains 2 figures.)
