According to traditional linguistic accounts language, and its generative nature, cannot be taught. From a behavior analytic perspective, language is like any other behavior; it is learned and amenable to change. Based upon Skinner's radical behavioral analysis of verbal behavior, specific procedures have been designed to promote novel verbal relat...
In an effort to provide clarity about the unique contributions of several professions within the context of multidisciplinary treatment, we reviewed the definitions, philosophical underpinnings, and national requirements pertaining to both scopes of practice (i.e., model licensing acts, legislation, and regulatory boards) and training (i.e., task l...
Estudos com sujeitos não humanos mostraram que o estabelecimento de controle inadvertido pela localização pode prejudicar a aquisição de relações condicionais em procedimentos de matching-to-sample (MTS). O objetivo do Experimento 1 foi verificar se esse fenômeno ocorreria com indivíduos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) em sessões de treino...
Traditionally, behavior analysts have studied stimulus equivalence using a matching‐to‐sample (MTS) preparation. Although researchers have shown the utility of MTS to yield equivalence classes, the procedure requires several prerequisite skills for a learner to accurately respond. Previous research with humans and nonhumans has shown that relationa...

This study assessed whether tact training would establish analogies as measured by equivalence–equivalence relations. In Experiment 1, six college students were trained to tact “same” or “different” in the presence of AB and BC compounds based on component class membership (e.g., A1B1 as “same”, and A1B2 as “different”), and then tested on emergent...
The purpose of the current study was to assess the effectiveness of auditory integration training (AIT) as a treatment for motor stereotypy. The participant was a 5-year-old boy diagnosed with autism who had been prescribed AIT. We used an ABCBCA reversal design to examine the effectiveness of AIT on stereotypy. Data were collected for 5 min before...
It has often been said that the characteristic which distinguishes humans from all other animals is the capacity for language (Pinker in The Language Instinct, HarperCollins Publishers, New York, 1994). It is essential to our species and contributes to its survival in various ways. An understanding of spoken and written rules, for example, represen...
The current study examined the effectiveness of an experimental functional analysis for assessing the functions of emergent vocal-verbal behavior in children with developmental disabilities. Experiment 1 consisted of a systematic replication of Lerman et al. (2005). Participants were 3 children with developmental disabilities, between the ages of 2...
