A within-subject comparison of stimulus equivalence training.
… of baseline conditional discriminations within stimulus equivalence training. The three training structures most often used are, linear (trains A:B and B:C discrimination), many-to-one (trains B:A and C:A discriminations) , and one-to-many (trains A:B and A:C discriminations). Each training …

On the Relation between Stimulus Equivalence and Extension of Stimulus Function
… this study was to examine the relation between stimulus equivalence (briefly, networks of relations among stimuli) and the extension of stimulus function (briefly, spread of effect across network) more closely than has been possible before. The traditional view of this relation suggests that …

Emergence of Stimulus Equivalence and Topography-Based Responding Following Lecture Instruction
The present study examined the emergence of stimulus equivalence using both selection-based and topography-based tests following a lecture or control condition. This study also evaluated generalization to novel stimuli in both selection-based and topography-based response formats, and evaluated the …

Using stimulus equivalence procedures to teach English to parents in the Latino community
… terms to better understand the education system. Stimulus equivalence is a behavioral technique that can be applied to language learning and target these specific terms. This study worked with Latin-American parents with a lack of English proficiency in education-related terms such as national …

Conditional Discrimination and Stimulus Equivalence: Effects of Suppressing Derived Symmetrical Responses on the Emergence of Transitivity.
… subjects who demonstrated a tendency to derive equivalence relations based on conditional discrimination training in a match-to-sample procedure. Symmetry suppression was applied in three consecutive sessions in which symmetrical responses were suppressed for one stimulus class in the first …

Derived Textual Control in Activity Schedules Using a Stimulus Pairing Observation Procedure
… This study examined an intervention, called stimulus pairing observation (SPO), for helping adults with Down syndrome transfer from use of a pictorial activity schedule to use of a textual activity schedule. Previous research on derived textual control has shown that matching-to-sample (MTS) …

The use of auditory prompting procedure and specific reinforcer assignments to promote auditory-visual conditional discriminations in persons with intellectual disabilities
… specific consequences may serve as an additional stimulus class for acquisition of relational responding to demonstrate stimulus equivalence with the human population. To date, emergence of auditory-visual relations has only been demonstrated with individuals who are ABLA level 6. This study …

AN EVALUATION OF INDIVIDUAL AND SMALL GROUP EQUIVALENCE-BASED INSTRUCTION IN A GENERAL EDUCATION CLASSROOM
… and the efficiency of individual and small group equivalence-based instruction on English and math relations with elementary school children. The first experiment implemented a multiple-probe design across three typically developing third graders using an automated procedure to evaluate the …

Mind Reading: The Role of Quality and Duration of the Relationship in Predicting Novel Behavior of Another Person
… are relevant. The present study utilized the stimulus equivalence paradigm to investigate the role of duration and quality of the relationship in mind reading accuracy. Manipulation of the number and type of relations participants were exposed to in the Observation Phase, simulated varying …

Derived Textual Control in Recreational Activity Schedules with Children with Autism
… responses on tests for emergent relations (i.e., stimulus equivalence) and the number of trials necessary to meet criterion during training. After the conditional discrimination training, the participant followed the textual activity schedule for all three sets of stimuli. He also matched the …

The Functional-Analytic Development of a Test for Behavioural History using the Concept of Derived Stimulus Relations
… testing format was developed by employing the Stimulus Equivalence paradigm (Sidman, 1971) and extending upon the previous work of Watt, Keenan, Barnes and Cairns (1991). Chapter 1 presents a review of the behavioural literature concerned with stimulus equivalence and derived stimulus …

Quantifying differential stimulus relatedness using the Function Acquisition Speed Test
… by these measures, as well as providing stimulus equivalence researchers with a novel, continuous measure of differential relatedness. Experiment 1 (n = 62) investigated the effectiveness of the FAST in quantifying differential stimulus relatedness varied along inter-class parameters …

Effect of training structures on the establishment of equivalence classes in college students and individuals with intellectual disabilities
… of training structures on the development of equivalence classes in college students and individuals with intellectual disabilities. Experiment 1 evaluated the effects of two types of training structures, One-To-Many (OTM) (AB, AC, AD), and Many-To-One (MTO) (BA, CA, DA), on the establishment …

Evaluation of Equivalence Relations: Models of Assessment and Best Practice
… promotes the maintenance or re-establishment of stimulus control in the environment. From a behavioral perspective, stimulus control aids in learning and memory through both respondent and operant conditioning. In the current study, stimulus equivalence training was completed and compared to …

The Impact of the PEAK Relational Training System on Language and School Readiness Outcomes for Typically Developing Preschool Students
… (ABA) techniques with innovative research on stimulus equivalence and derived relational responding. The current research investigated the impact of the PEAK Relational Training Systems, specifically the Equivalence (PEAK-E) and Transformation (PEAK-T) Modules, on cognitive and language …

The Induction of Emergent Relations in Children with Severe Cognitive and Language Delays
… of emergent relations defined as transitivity by Stimulus Equivalence theory or as combinatorial entailment in Relational Frame Theory. In Experiment I, the participants were 4 children diagnosed with autism who also demonstrated significant cognitive and language delays, who were selected for the …

Recombinative Generalisation and Psycholinguistic Grain Size: An Investigation of Reading Related Skills in Adult Readers and Children with Learning Difficulties
… strengthen the effectiveness of the procedure, a stimulus equivalence training component, in which the children learned to relate printed words, spoken words, and corresponding pictures, was incorporated into the protocol. The stimulus equivalence component was used in a novel way to train …

A derived relations analysis of the aetiology, maintenance and treatment of fear and anxiety in human participants
… event in a person’s life. The processes of stimulus equivalence, derived relational responding and the derived transfer of functions effect in particular, were identified as having significant potential for the explanation of such “unconditioned” clinical anxiety. Whilst early studies dealt …

Developing the Function Acquisition Speed Test: Using a Functional Research Approach to Build a Novel Implicit Test
… literature concerned with the phenomena of stimulus equivalence and derived relational responding, and reviews the links between these concepts and complex human behaviour such as attitudes. The seminal study by Watt et al. (1991) is also described. In that study, the researchers attempted …

Competing Arbitrary and Non-Arbitrary Stimulus Relations in Adults, Normally Developing Children and Children with a Diagnosis of Autism
… (2002) who reported that competing non-arbitrary stimulus relations disrupted equivalence-consistent responding in adult humans. Chapter 1 provides a review of research into stimulus equivalence, derived relational responding, and notes that the Colour-Test condition presented in the Stewart et …
