“…The RFT approach is a modern behavioral account of human language and cognition that has proved able to tackle questions long thought to be out of reach of the behavior-analytic approach. RFT has made a multitude of advances in the behavioral understanding of such areas of cognition as analogical reasoning (Carpenter, Smeets & Barnes-Holmes, 2003;Stewart & Barnes-Holmes 2004;Stewart, Barnes-Holmes & Weil, 2009), assessment and training of intellectual skills (e.g., Cassidy, Roche & Hayes, 2011;O'Toole & Barnes-Holmes, 2009), in applied developmental and clinical arenas (McHugh, Barnes-Holmes & Rehfeldt, Dillen, Ziomek & Kowalchuck, 2007;Villatte, Monestes, McHugh, Freixa i Baque & Loas, 2010a, 2010bWeil, Hayes & Capurro, 2011) and generative verbal behavior in developmentally delayed children (e.g., Heagle & Rehfeldt, 2006;Moran, Stewart, McElwee & Ming, 2010;Murphy & Barnes-Holmes 2009). In addition to its success in these areas, the authors believe that RFT can be a powerful explanatory tool for researchers interested in implicit attitudes.…”

Research surrounding the construct of “implicit attitudes” and the various methodologies for measuring that construct is currently founded on the social cognitive paradigm. However, no robust and agreed upon theoretical framework has emerged from this paradigm, despite the widespread adoption of implicit testing methodologies and their associated theoretical assumptions. The current chapter outlines a functional approach to implicit testing, describing research stemming from Relational Frame Theory that was developed in parallel with the emergence of the IAT, and arguing for the benefits of connecting these two strands of research to improve the understanding of attitude behaviors and create better understood implicit testing methodologies. The chapter concludes with descriptions of two examples of such methodologies: the IRAP and the FAST.
