“…Relational coherence refers to the extent to which a given pattern of AARRing overlaps functionally with previous patterns of AARRing that were reinforced (or at least not punished) by the verbal community (see Hughes & Barnes-Holmes, 2016a). For example, if you are told that A is taller than B, stating thereafter that B is shorter than A would not typically be punished.…”

“…Relational complexity refers to the intricacy or density of a pattern of relational responding (see Hughes & Barnes-Holmes, 2016a). For example, a combinatorially entailed relational response involving three relata (e.g., A same-as B and B same-as C entails C same-as A) is less complex than one involving four (e.g., A same-as B and B same-as C and C same-as D entails D same-as A).…”

The article presents the beginnings of a conceptual framework for analyzing the dynamics of arbitrarily applicable relational responding (AARRing). The framework focuses on the dimensions and levels of AARRing that have been the focus of empirical and conceptual analyses in the literature on relational frame theory over the past 30 years. The name of the framework is abbreviated the MDML, and the conceptual and empirical context from which it emerged is presented. The framework currently consists of four dimensions, (i) coherence, (ii) complexity, (iii) derivation, and (iv) flexibility; and five levels of relational development, (i) mutual entailing, (ii) relational framing, (iii) relational networking, (iv) What is the MDML and What Does it Offer?At this point in an earlier version of the current paper we first presented the historical background to the MDML before describing the framework itself and explaining why we

“…Skinnerowska analiza zachowań werbalnych, mimo udokumentowanej skuteczności w pracy z dziećmi i osobami o zaburzonym rozwoju, okazała się jednak niewystarczająca do wyjaśnienia nabywania i elastycznego użycia języka na bardziej złożonych poziomach, bez specyficznego treningu czy wzmacniania. Generatywność i elastyczność języka, zauważone już przez Noama Chomskiego (Chomsky, 1959), stanowiły wyzwanie dla behawiorystów -aż do momentu pojawienia się teorii ram relacyjnych (Hughes, Barnes-Holmes, 2016).…”

Responding to stimuli in accordance with the noticed and derived relations between them exerts influence on various mental skills, including the problem solving, language communication, and social functioning. In the behavioral psychology deriving relations between the stimuli (e.g. objects, events) is referred to as relational framing and is defined as the learned, generalized operant behavior. Researchers working within the Relational Frame Theory (RFT) (Hayes, Barnes-Holmes, Roche, 2001) claim that the process involved in acquiring complex language relations can be explained in terms of the arbitrary applicable relational responding (AARR). A growing body of research demonstrates the effectiveness of interventions based on the relational responding in various populations, including those with atypical development. Despite wide interest in RFT amongst international researchers and practitioners, it is still relatively unknown in Poland. The presented article aims at introducing RFT, conceived as a behavioral functional approach to language and cognitive abilities, to the Polish language speaking community, as well as presenting the possibilities of its application in therapy of autism spectrum disorder, including improving communication, skills generalization, and perspective taking.

“…However, it has been argued that these principles do not adequately account for the behavior of verbally-able humans [1]. The development of RFT provided a conceptual account of the phenomena that define language and higher cognition in verbally-able adult humans, including domains such as analogical reasoning, perspective taking, and psychological suffering [5].…”

From Relational Frame Theory to implicit attitudes and back again: clarifying the link between RFT and IRAP research

Relational Frame Theory (RFT) is a functional-analytic account of human language and cognition, including human psychopathology. The core premise of the theory is that language and cognition is composed of relational acts. Over the past 10 years, the theory has served to generate the development of a measure, known as the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure, which was designed initially to provide a metric of the strength or persistence of relational responding. Although the IRAP provides a measure of implicit attitudes, we argue that it is time to refocus on its original purpose: measuring the strength of relational framing. This refocusing has already started to generate a new conceptual framework, which potentially will lead to improved functional specificity for behavior therapy.
