Blinded body part sensation training may promote acquisition of related tacts for private events

Abstract

Design: A concurrent multiple-baseline design across participants was planned; however, due to one participant exiting the study, the experimenters included a third participant via a non-concurrent multiple-baseline design. Generalization to untaught body parts, recombinative generalization, and novel forms of stimulation were tested for. Although the experimenters did not specifically train or test for maintenance, two of the three participants were reported to engage in the target behaviors across untrained settings.
