“…For Wayne, improvements in correct responding were observed but to a lesser extent. Some alternative approaches to conducting tests for emergence of untrained skills may be considered to potentially avoid this effect on responding, such as providing reinforcement contingent upon correct responses (Ribeiro, Miguel, & Goyos, 2015;Velasco & Tomanari, 2014) or contingent upon all responses (LeBlanc, Miguel, Cummings, Goldsmith, & Carr, 2003).…”

Matrix training consists of preplanning instruction by arranging components of desired skills across a minimum of two axes. In the current study, three matrices were developed for each participant (e.g., Matrix 1, Generalization Matrix 1, and Generalization Matrix 2) with known color and shape components. Following baseline, nonoverlapping (i.e., diagonal) training was conducted with Matrix 1. Results of posttests were used to determine the extent of emergence of untrained color-shape combinations across all matrices. Results from all six participants indicated that mastery criteria were eventually met for Matrix 1. For five participants, mastery criteria were also eventually met for generalization matrices. Results replicate findings from prior studies and offer a simple approach for both testing emergence of untrained skills and remediating responding.

“…However, this was done in order to strengthen participants' tact responses for subsequent listener tests. Additionally, recent research has suggested that results from tests conducted under reinforcement conditions are comparable to those obtained during traditional unreinforced test trials (Velasco & Tomanari, 2014).…”

“…However, correct responses produced a computer animation and praise while incorrect responses produced a black screen and the next trial. Tacts were reinforced during posttests to strengthen them in participants' repertoires, and avoid extinction (Velasco & Tomanari, 2014).…”

The purpose of the current study was to assess whether the establishment of listener relations with compound stimuli as samples and comparisons would lead to the emergence of: (1) speaker behavior in the form of tacts of the compound stimuli; (2) listener and tact responses for untaught compounds; and (3) listener and tact responses for the isolated properties of compounds. Participants were four boys diagnosed with autism and one diagnosed with intellectual disability. We taught participants to select among three compound comparisons consisting of combinations of shapes and patterns in the presence of the corresponding dictated word. Subsequently, we tested for the emergence of tacts for the trained compounds, as well as tact and listener relations for six untaught compounds and their properties. In general, results showed that the acquisition of listener relations led to the emergence of the corresponding tacts, as well as the emergence of listener and tact responses for untaught combinations for three out of five participants. By contrast, the other two participants showed responding characteristic of restricted stimulus control. These results suggest that the establishment of bidirectional relations between listener and speaker behaviors may facilitate the emergence of control by properties of compound stimuli.

“…Among the 4 human studies previously retained, only 1 did provide data on individual symmetry trials [8] (overall only 3 studies out of the 37 surveyed didsee Table 1). Two of them [5,6] found up to 17% symmetry errors in the first block but did not report error distribution, which prevents to know whether symmetry was present from the very first trial, i.e., was formed during training, or appeared after a few initial errors, i.e., was secondarily formed. Interestingly, a third study [7] gave evidence of obvious failure to derive symmetry with bilingual pairs of words: out of 24 participants, only 3 reached mastery criterion in the first 40-trial test block while 17 failed to even reach 50% performance.…”

“…Finally, two other studies did not report the instructions given and must likewise be excluded from the potential list of valid studies (see Supplementary information). From our initial sample of 37 studies, we are thus left with 4 studies containing neither bidirectional training nor instruction biases: 1 has used sequential pairing [5], 3 have used sequential matching [6][7][8].…”
