Despite systematic demonstrations of the effectiveness of the respondent-type procedure in producing relational responding, matching-to-sample continues to be the predominant approach for studying equivalence class formation. The length of exposure to stimulus pairings during respondent-type training, and repeated alternation of blocks of training and testing are factors that seem to undermine the practicality and the perceived effectiveness of the procedure. Further, the presentation of stimulus pairs without the simultaneous presence of nonclass members may be said to lack the complexity of the matching-to-sample stimulus arrangement. The present study evaluates the efficiency of a respondent matching-to-sample arrangement after exposing participants to a reduced number of training trials per baseline relation. Probes were added at the end of each block of training trials to verify the strength of S–S relations while keeping the number of acquisition trials to a minimum. At least half of the participants responded correctly to all probe trials per baseline relation after only one exposure, and all participants performed accurately in tests of derived relations. Procedural components of S–S training such as intermixing probes during training and arranging an environment-elicited orientation response towards the relevant stimuli, are discussed as key elements of efficient respondent equivalence training procedures.

尽管系统地证明了响应者类型程序在产生关系响应中的有效性，但样本匹配仍然是研究等价类形成的主要方法。在受访者型训练期间，接触刺激配对的时间长短以及训练和测试块的反复轮换似乎是破坏该程序的实用性和感知效率的因素。此外，在没有非班级成员同时存在的情况下刺激对的表示可以说缺乏匹配样本刺激安排的复杂性。本研究在将参与者暴露于每个基线关系减少的训练试验次数之后，评估了响应者匹配样本的效率。在每组训练试验的末尾都添加了探针，以验证S-S关系的强度，同时将获得试验的次数保持在最少。仅一次接触后，至少一半的参与者对每种基准关系的所有探针试验均做出了正确的反应，并且所有参与者在派生关系的测试中均准确执行。S–S训练的过程组成部分，例如训练过程中的混合探头以及针对相关刺激安排环境引起的定向反应，是有效的对等等效训练程序的关键要素。仅一次接触后，至少一半的参与者对每个基线关系的所有探针试验均做出了正确的反应，并且所有参与者在派生关系的测试中均准确执行。S–S训练的过程组成部分，例如训练过程中的混合探头以及针对相关刺激安排环境引起的定向反应，是有效的对等等效训练程序的关键要素。仅一次接触后，至少一半的参与者对每个基线关系的所有探针试验均做出了正确的反应，并且所有参与者在派生关系的测试中均准确执行。S–S训练的过程组成部分，例如训练过程中的混合探针以及针对相关刺激安排环境引起的定向反应，是有效的对等等效训练程序的关键要素。
