An Evaluation of Two Tact-Training Procedures on Acquired Tacts and Tacting During Play

A Systematic Review of Emergent Learning Outcomes Produced by Foreign language Tact Training

“…Skinner ( 1957 , p. 83) considered the tact the most important verbal operant because mands, intraverbals, and listener relations often depend on the learner’s ability to reference a wide range of environmental stimuli (Sundberg, 2015 ). Consequently, a strong tact repertoire is vital to social and academic success (Bak et al, 2021 ; Lalonde et al, 2020 ). Foreign tact training involves teaching learners to tact environmental stimuli using appropriate foreign language referents.…”

An evaluation of the impact of stimulus mode on acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of tacts of actions

“…Discrete trial training (DTT) is a behavior analytic instructional procedure that has been shown to foster acquisition of tacts by children with an ASD and other developmental delays (e.g., Delgado & Oblak, 2007; LaLonde, 2020; Partington et al., 1994). However, most previous studies evaluating acquisition of tacts have focused on tacts of static stimuli (e.g., nouns) and few studies assessed acquisition of tacts of dynamic stimuli (e.g., actions) (Schebell et al., 2017).…”
