For example, a picture may contain multiple components, and an instructor may ask a learner to respond differentially to questions about the picture (e.g., \"who,\" \"what,\" \"where,\" \"color,\" \"number,\" \"shape\"). The format of teaching may affect the development of verbal behavior under multiple sources of stimulus control. Therefore, the present investigation compared teaching stimuli in isolation to teaching with compound stimuli on the emergence of verbal behavior to evaluate methods that assist with correctly answering questions about compound stimuli. This study used a translational model with undergraduate students in Experiment 1 and replicated the procedures with a child with autism spectrum disorder in Experiment 2. Probes of untrained speaker and listener relations were conducted prior to training and following the emergence of the multiply controlled intraverbal tacts. Results show limited differences in the impact of training stimuli on acquisition and emergence. Results also show trial arrangements that may promote the emergence of untrained verbal relations.

Particularly for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other related disabilities, manding is a pivotal skill that influences long-term prognosis. Mand training is complex and relies on several components to facilitate acquisition. Various approaches have been developed to target this pivotal repertoire; however, it is unknown if there are common elements, or \"critical components,\" among interventions. Identifying these components may support the design of mand training interventions for young children that are efficient and effective. In this systematic review, we synthesized the characteristics of 118 participants included in 45 single-case studies teaching preschool-aged children to mand. Findings indicated that most studies conduct preference assessments to inform target selection, manipulate motivating operations, and deliver specific reinforcement following the emission of the mand. This review reveals a gap in observing behavioral indication, teaching under both establishing operation (EO) and abolishing operation (AO) conditions, and failure to observe interactions with the consequent stimulus. Overall, the results suggest differences in the variables included in mand training interventions and those critical to acquisition of a functional mand repertoire cannot be determined. We discuss implications and directions for future research.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40616-024-00211-9.","PeriodicalId":51684,"journal":{"name":"Analysis of Verbal Behavior","volume":"40 2","pages":"345-378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11925842/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.

In Experiment 1, eight undergraduate students were exposed to a two-component multiple schedule (training). In each component, there was a concurrent variable interval (VI)-extinction (EXT) schedule. Participants were given two rules that instructed them to respond to the VI alternative in the presence of different discriminative stimuli. The side of the VI schedule changed in each component and offered a different reinforcer rate according to the discriminative stimuli in the operation. When both discriminative stimuli were concurrently presented (test), participants favored the alternative previously instructed by the rule, which was associated with the greatest reinforcer rate, whereas indifference was observed in the absence of discriminative stimuli. Experiment 2 tested the effects of reinforcement rate using the same procedure without providing rules. During training, participants gradually developed a preference for the VI alternatives. In the choice test phase, participants favored the alternative associated with the stimuli with the highest reinforcer rate when both discriminative stimuli were present. Unsystematic preference was observed in the absence of discriminative stimuli. Two alternative explanations were provided for the findings.","PeriodicalId":51684,"journal":{"name":"Analysis of Verbal Behavior","volume":"40 2","pages":"280-305"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11925829/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All participants were trained to tact the name and the favorite food of two contrived cartoon monsters in the presence of a picture of the monster (e.g., \"What is the name of this monster?\" - \"Max\" and \"What food does the monster eat?\" - \"Sweets\") to evaluate the effects of emergent listener discriminations and emergent intraverbal vocal responses. Once criterion was met on the tact training, participants were tested for emergent listener discriminations (e.g., \"Who eats sweets?\" And \"Who is Max?\") and emergent intraverbal vocal responses (e.g., \"What food does Max eat?\" - \"Sweets\" and \"Who eats sweets?\" - \"Max\" in the absence of the picture). After training, all four participants engaged in emergent listener responding but only one participant engaged in emergent intraverbal responding. Multiple exemplar instruction (MEI) was used to teach those who could not engage in emergent intraverbal responding, and it was demonstrated to be effective. These findings are educationally significant because efficiency of instruction is important to maximize instructional impact, and to reduce the time and resource-intensive nature of behavior-analytic programming.","PeriodicalId":51684,"journal":{"name":"Analysis of Verbal Behavior","volume":"40 1","pages":"63-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11217261/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141499631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, undesirable generalization of signs for \"help\" when the infant could independently access the items was observed.

Previous reviews evaluating the inclusion of procedural fidelity in published empirical articles demonstrated underreporting of procedural fidelity procedures and measures within specific journals. We conducted a systematic review of The Analysis of Verbal Behavior (TAVB) to evaluate the trends in procedural fidelity reporting from 2007 to 2021. Of the 253 articles published in TAVB during the reporting period, 144 of the articles (168 studies) met inclusionary criteria for further analysis. Our results showed that 54% of studies reported procedural fidelity data, which is slightly higher than previous reviews.

The simple practice of allowing the speaker the freedom to select the language of instruction minimizes cultural bias and hegemony. We extended the research on functional analyses of verbal behavior to include a speaker of multiple languages in a quasi-experimental case study. We employed verbal operant experimental (VOX) analyses as a repeated measure of language acquisition with a linguistically diverse, 7-year-old Indian boy with autism. The VOX analyses were conducted as part of the child's early intensive behavioral intervention, and we observed the impact of an immersive foreign language experience on his verbal repertoire with follow-up VOX analyses conducted in three topographically distinct languages: English, Telugu, and Tamil. The results show a dynamic hierarchy of strength between the three languages, with overarching patterns across the three assessments. The implications for using VOX analyses to assess the functional language skills of multilingual speakers with autism are discussed, and areas of future research are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":51684,"journal":{"name":"Analysis of Verbal Behavior","volume":"40 2","pages":"271-279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11926281/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
