Limited research has demonstrated techniques for teaching this skill to children who do not successfully tact past events. The current study demonstrates a probe-fading method for teaching children to correctly tact stimuli they were exposed to in the past. Initially, experimenters asked a question about the item the participant has interacted with immediately after item engagement. Subsequently, experimenters systematically increased the time between participants interacting with an item and the question until participants mastered accurate reporting after a 30-min delay. Future directions when teaching delayed reporting are summarized.</p>","PeriodicalId":51684,"journal":{"name":"Analysis of Verbal Behavior","volume":"38 1","pages":"65-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9170859/pdf/40616_2022_Article_166.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9155968","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}

College students served as participants, and they were instructed to solve an arithmetic problem while continuously emitting overt verbal behavior. The overt verbal behavior consisted of either talking aloud while solving the problem or reciting the alphabet. A third condition consisted of playing an auditory-distractor file containing the alphabet during the response interval while participants talked aloud. Data were collected on response accuracy, latency to respond, and frequency of echoic and self-echoic responses emitted during the response interval. The vocal-blocking task significantly affected performance on the math task when visual stimuli were absent. The decrease in performance coincided with significant decreases in participants' mean frequency of echoic and self-echoic responses. In sum, correctly responding to an arithmetic problem was significantly affected by the vocal-blocking task, indicating support for the necessity of verbal mediation during problem solving.</p>","PeriodicalId":51684,"journal":{"name":"Analysis of Verbal Behavior","volume":"37 1","pages":"57-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s40616-021-00145-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39313871","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}
