Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ingvarsson, Einar T.; Kramer, Rachel L.; Carp, Charlotte L.; Pétursdóttir, Anna I.; Macias, Heather – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2016
We evaluated the use of a blocked-trials procedure to establish complex stimulus control over intraverbal responses. The participants were four young boys with a diagnosis of autism who had struggled to master intraverbals. The blocked-trials procedures involved presentation of stimuli in separate trial blocks. The trial blocks gradually reduced…

The Effects of Conditional Discrimination Instruction and Verbal Behavior on the Establishment of Hierarchical Responding
Direct linkDirect link
Barnes, Clarissa S. – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This investigation evaluated the use of conditional discrimination (CD) instruction and multiple exemplar instruction (MEI) to establish derived relational responding in accordance with hierarchical frames with school aged children. The first experiment used a multiple probe design to evaluate the effectiveness of MEI to teach participants to…

Evaluation of the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Two Stimulus Prompt Strategies with Severely Handicapped Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Steege, Mark W.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
The study compared the effectiveness of a traditional training procedure (least-to-most restrictive prompt sequence) and a prescriptive training procedure (utilizing ongoing behavioral assessment data to identify discriminative stimuli) with four severely/multiply handicapped students (ages 11-19). Results indicated both procedures were effective…

Stimulus Equalization: Temporary Reduction of Stimulus Complexity to Facilitate Discrimination Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hoko, J. Aaron; LeBlanc, Judith M. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1988
Because disabled learners may profit from procedures using gradual stimulus change, this study utilized a microcomputer to investigate the effectiveness of stimulus equalization, an error reduction procedure involving an abrupt but temporary reduction of dimensional complexity. The procedure was found to be generally effective and implications for…

Using Stimulus Equivalence Procedures to Teach Relationships between English and Spanish Words.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Joyce, Bonnie G.; And Others – Education and Treatment of Children, 1993
A stimulus equivalence procedure for the acquisition of English and Spanish words was evaluated with two adolescents having head injuries. Following training on one task, subjects attained and maintained high scores on all matching-to-sample tasks. Results suggest the procedure is effective for teaching foreign language skills to head-injured…

A Comparison of Static and Dynamic Presentation Procedures on Discrimination Learning of Individuals with Severe or Moderate Mental Retardation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Karsh, Kathryn G.; And Others – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1994
Sixteen individuals (ages 7-18) with moderate or severe mental retardation were taught to identify 2 comparative discriminations by a static or dynamic presentation procedure. No differences in percentage of unprompted correct responses were found between the two procedures in training, generalization, or maintenance. (Author/JDD)
