Emergent Intraverbal Responses VIA Tact and Match-to-Sample Instruction
Grannan, Leigh; Rehfeldt, Ruth Anne
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v45 n3 p601-605 Fall 2012
The present investigation evaluated the effectiveness of category tact and match-to-sample instruction in facilitating the emergence of intraverbal responses (i.e., naming several items belonging to a specific category) for 2 children with autism. Results demonstrated the emergence of untaught responses, suggesting an effective instructional protocol for establishing intraverbal responses without direct instruction. (Contains 1 figure.)
