A Comparison of Transfer of Stimulus Control Or Multiple Control on the Acquisition of Verbal Operants in Young Children with Autism: an Extension

Pasat, Irina V. 08 1900 (has links)
One language intervention approach for individuals with autism involves teaching one response topography under multiple sources of control and then establishing that response under individual controlling variable. Another approach involves establishing one response topography under singular control and then using that response to establish the response topography under different controlling variables. The study sought to extend previous research by investigating the impact of each approach on the acquisition of verbal responses. Three of the eight participants acquired all target responses for at least one response topography. The results of previous research were not replicated directly and the findings were discussed in terms of preexperimental verbal repertoires and restricted interests.

An Application of Auditory Stimuli as Fading Prompts in Discrimination Training

Perlman, Neal S. 05 1900 (has links)
An experiment was conducted to examine the functionality of using auditory stimuli in isolation as fading stimuli. A review of the literature revealed very few reports regarding the usage of the auditory modality for fading purposes. The study employed auditory prompts as fading stimuli in the transfer of stimulus control across stimulus modalities, specifically, the transfer of stimulus control from auditory to visual stimulus properties. A single subject was employed for the experiment. The results were that the intensity of the auditory stimulus was an ineffective dimension to use for fading operations in the transfer of stimulus control across stimulus modalities, Further investigation is needed regarding the conditions that limit the transfer of stimulus control when auditory prompts are employed as fading stimuli.

TEACHING FRAMES OF COMPARISON, OPPOSITION, AND DISTINCTION UTILIZING AUDITORY, OLFACTORY, AND TACTILE MODALITIES TO CHILDREN WITH AUTISM

Helleny, LilyAnnn Kay 01 May 2020 (has links)
The present study evaluated the effects of utilizing derived relational responding protocols to teach non-arbitrary frames of opposition, comparison and distinction to two children with autism across tactile, auditory, and olfactory sensory modalities. Both participants were successful in demonstrating accurate responding across all skill programs, which included the demonstration of transfers of stimulus function. The results for both participants suggest that the programs were effective in fostering skill acquisition among individuals with ASD using the relational frames of opposition, distinction, and comparison by utilizing stimuli with sensory qualities of tactile, olfactory, and auditory modalities respectively.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Anna.pdf: 760748 bytes, checksum: b044a10b965a0e34c78dd6437370adac (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-05-18 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The purpose of this study was: (1) to establish the control of two (typing) responses as SD or conditional stimuli over a second response of choice between stimuli in a MTS task, (2) to verify if the typing responses became members of equivalent stimulus classes, and (3) if other stimuli of the equivalent classes would have discriminative functions similar to these responses . Seven adults participated in the study. On Phase 1 subjects were trained in a MTS task (stimuli relations AB and BC), then tested for the emergence of two stimulus equivalence classes (1 and 2) with three arbitrary stimulus in each one. On Phase 2 typing RFV or UJM on a computer became the stimuli controlling the choice of stimuli B1 or B2. On Phase 3 it was tested if (a) the typing responses became members of the equivalence classes established on Phase 1 and (b) if stimuli (C1 and C2) which had not been present on Phase 2 - acquired discriminative functions similar to the typing responses. Results showed that: equivalence classes were established for all participants on Phase 1; the typing responses assumed discriminative/ conditional functions, controlling the choice between two arbitrary stimuli on Phase 2; the typing responses became members of the equivalence classes; and members of the equivalence classes not present on Phase 2 assumed discriminative functions. Discussion highlights these findings and the consistency of the results / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi colocar respostas (de escolha entre estímulos em uma tarefa de MTS) sob controle de outras respostas (de digitação) como estímulos discriminativos ou condicionais e, então, verificar se as respostas de digitação se tornariam membros de classes de estímulos e, ainda, se a função discriminativa destas respostas seria assumida por outros estímulos membros das classes de estímulos equivalentes, sem treino direto. Participaram de todas as três fases experimentais sete adultos. Na Fase 1 os participantes foram submetidos a um treino de MTS entre estímulos arbitrários (relações AB e BC) no computador e testados para formação de duas classes de estímulos equivalentes (classes 1 e 2) com três estímulos arbitrários em cada uma (A, B, C). Na Fase 2 havia duas tarefas no computador. O objetivo desta Fase foi estabelecer autodiscriminação na qual o participante digitava RFV ou UJM na primeira tarefa e escolhia o estímulo B1 ou B2 na segunda tarefa, condicionalmente a cada uma das respostas possíveis na tarefa 1. Na Fase 3 foi testado se as respostas de digitação participariam das classes de estímulos equivalentes treinadas na Fase 1 e se outros estímulos (C1 e C2) da classe de equivalência demonstrariam as funções discriminativas dos estímulos/respostas de digitação. Destaca-se nos resultados que na Fase 1 todos os participantes formaram classes de estímulos equivalentes, na Fase 2 estabeleceu-se autodiscriminação para todos os participantes. Na Fase 3 averiguou-se que as respostas de digitar passaram a fazer parte das classes de estímulos equivalentes de que participavam os estímulos B1 e B2 e que estímulos das classes de equivalência que não participaram do treino de autodiscriminação (C1 e C2) assumiram função discriminativa como B1 e B2. Na discussão dos resultados ressalta-se a pouca variabilidade nos desempenhos dos participantes, o sucesso no treino de autodiscriminação e nos testes posteriores
