The Generalization and Retention of Equivalence Relations in Adults with Mental Retardation.

摘要: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the generalization and long-term retention equivalence relations in individuals with mental retardation. To date, a range novel stimuli has only been demonstrated among verbally competent adults. responding many retardation often fails come under control relevant stimulus features generalize stimuli. Thus, we assessed whether would occur absence remedial training for 4 adults mild or moderate Subjects learned 6 conditional discriminations were tested emergence 3 symmetry relations. also their approximately 1–4 months following last laboratory session. All subjects showed all training, most Accuracy improved during test as function repeated testing some subjects.
