Effects of Two Training Conditions on the Emergence of Novel Intraverbals: An Extension of Perez-Gonzalez et al. (2008)

Perez-Gonzalez, Herszlikowicz, and Williams (2008) demonstrated the emergence of novel intraverbal responses following the training of several intraverbals. The present study replicated and extended that study by separating two training conditions that were combined in the previous study. Nine typically developing children ages 6-7 years were first taught A-B and B-C verbal relations and then probed on 12 A-B, B-C, B-A, C-B, A-C, and C-A verbal relations. If novel intraverbal relations did not emerge, each participant received either category-name training or exemplar-name training. If novel intraverbals did not emerge after training in one of those conditions, the participant was exposed to the other training condition. Emergence of all novel intraverbals was observed for 4 of the 6 participants who received category- and exemplar-name training, but only after they had completed both training conditions. An error analysis suggested that errors following A-B and B-C training were attributable to lack of contextual control over the vocal responses. (Contains 6 tables and 2 figures.)
