Abstract

According to relational frame theory (RFT), temporal relational responding is key to important repertoires, including sequencing, ordering, planning, and time understanding. Previous studies have taught several other varieties of relational responding (e.g., comparison, deictics) but relatively little work has been done in the case of temporal relational responding. The present study aimed to assess existing temporal relational responding skills in three autistic adolescents and to evaluate the efficacy of an RFT-based multiple exemplar training (MET) procedure to teach nonarbitrary (physically based) temporal relations, which constitute an important foundation for derived temporal relations. Results indicated that all participants achieved mastery (100% across two sessions) for nonarbitrary temporal relations following MET. During post-training phases, each of the participants maintained performance 2 and 4 weeks later, and the skill was extended to two novel data sets (100% accuracy).

自闭症青少年非任意时间关系反应教学。

根据关系框架理论（RFT），时间关系反应是包括排序、排序、计划和时间理解在内的重要反应的关键。先前的研究已经教授了其他几种类型的关系反应（例如，比较、指示语），但在时间关系反应方面做的工作相对较少。本研究旨在评估三名自闭症青少年现有的时间关系反应技能，并评估基于rft的多范例训练（MET）程序对非任意（基于物理的）时间关系的教学效果，这些时间关系是衍生时间关系的重要基础。结果表明，所有参与者在MET后对非任意时间关系都达到了掌握（100%）。在训练后阶段，每个参与者在2周和4周后保持表现，并将技能扩展到两个新的数据集（100%准确率）。补充信息：在线版本包含补充资料，提供地址：10.1007/s40616-024-00210-w。

期刊介绍： The Analysis of Verbal Behavior (TAVB) is an official publication of the Association for Behavior Analysis International. The Mission of the journal is to support the dissemination of innovative empirical research, theoretical conceptualizations, and real-world applications of the behavioral science of language. The journal embraces diverse perspectives of human language, its conceptual underpinnings, and the utility such diversity affords. TAVB values contributions that represent the scope of field and breadth of populations behavior analysts serve, and Is the premier publication outlet that fosters increased dialogue between scientists and scientist-practitioners. Articles addressing the following topics are encouraged: language acquisition, verbal operants, relational frames, naming, rule-governed behavior, epistemology, language assessment and training, bilingualism, verbal behavior of nonhumans, research methodology, or any other topic that addresses the analysis of language from a behavior analytic perspective.
