Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Educational Studies.
This study investigated the use of a matrix training approach to program for the occurrence of generative receptive language in young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other language delays. Matrix training is a teaching procedure that can establish recombinative generalization, thus leading to generative language. A matrix of action/object instructions were designed for each of the four participants. They were systematically taught specific action/object instructions, as outlined in the matrix, and probes were conducted to determine if the other action/object instructions were occurring without any teaching. Although recombinative generalization was partial, approximately 30–50% of the learned action/object instructions occurred through direct teaching while the other 50–70% occurred without direct teaching. Matrix training provided a systematic teaching layout that programmed for the occurrence of generative language.
