Abstract

We sought to evaluate the efficacy of successive matching training for establishing generalized reflexive matching across 4 children with autism. In Experiment 1, differential reinforcement with delay fading was efficacious in establishing "yes" and "no" matching and nonmatching responses in 2 participants when 2 identical or nonidentical picture stimuli were presented. In addition, emergent visual-visual reflexive relational responses were observed using novel picture stimuli in a transfer test phase. In Experiment 2, differential reinforcement alone was efficacious in establishing matching and nonmatching responses in the other 2 participants when 2 identical or nonidentical objects were presented. Transfer to identical objects presented through touch (i.e., tactile discrimination) was additionally observed for both participants. Procedures in the study were adapted from the PEAK Relational Training System to aid in clinical replication, and the translational results have implications for language training with individuals with autism.

自闭症儿童的普遍反射性反应和刺激功能的跨模式触觉转移。

我们试图评估连续匹配训练对 4 名自闭症儿童建立普遍反射性匹配的效果。在实验 1 中，当 2 幅相同或不相同的图片刺激出现时，延迟消退的差别强化训练能有效地帮助 2 名参与者建立 "是 "和 "否 "的匹配和非匹配反应。此外，在转移测试阶段，使用新的图片刺激也能观察到出现的视觉-视觉反射关系反应。在实验 2 中，当出现 2 个相同或非相同的物体时，仅用差异强化就能有效地在另外 2 名参与者中建立匹配和非匹配反应。此外，还观察到两名被试对通过触摸呈现的相同物体的转移（即触觉辨别）。该研究的程序改编自 PEAK 关系训练系统，以帮助临床复制，其转化结果对自闭症患者的语言训练有一定的启发意义。

期刊介绍： The Analysis of Verbal Behavior (TAVB) is an official publication of the Association for Behavior Analysis International. The Mission of the journal is to support the dissemination of innovative empirical research, theoretical conceptualizations, and real-world applications of the behavioral science of language. The journal embraces diverse perspectives of human language, its conceptual underpinnings, and the utility such diversity affords. TAVB values contributions that represent the scope of field and breadth of populations behavior analysts serve, and Is the premier publication outlet that fosters increased dialogue between scientists and scientist-practitioners. Articles addressing the following topics are encouraged: language acquisition, verbal operants, relational frames, naming, rule-governed behavior, epistemology, language assessment and training, bilingualism, verbal behavior of nonhumans, research methodology, or any other topic that addresses the analysis of language from a behavior analytic perspective.
