The current study evaluated the effectiveness of a go/no‐go successive matching‐to‐sample procedure (S‐MTS) to establish auditory–visual equivalence classes with college students. A sample and a comparison were presented, one at a time, in the same location. During training, after an auditory stimulus was presented, a green box appeared in the center of the screen for participants to touch to produce the comparison. Touching the visual comparison that was related to the auditory sample (e.g., A1B1) produced points, while touching or refraining from touching an unrelated comparison (e.g., A1B2) produced no consequences. Following AB/AC training, participants were tested on untrained relations (i.e., BA/CA and BC/CB), as well as tacting and sorting. During BA/CA relations tests, after touching the visual sample, the auditory stimulus was presented along with a white box for participants to respond. During BC/CB relations tests, after touching the visual sample, a visual comparison appeared. Across 2 experiments, all participants met emergence criterion for untrained relations and for sorting. Additionally, 14 out of 24 participants tacted all visual stimuli correctly. Results suggest the auditory–visual S‐MTS procedure is an effective alternative to simultaneous MTS for establishing conditional relations and auditory‐visual equivalence classes.

通过进行/不进行连续样本匹配程序建立听觉-视觉等价类


当前的研究评估了通过/不通过连续样本匹配程序（S-MTS）与大学生建立听觉-视觉等效课程的有效性。在同一地点一次展示一个样品并进行比较。在训练过程中，呈现听觉刺激后，屏幕中央会出现一个绿色框，供参与者触摸以进行比较。触摸与听觉样本相关的视觉比较（例如，A1B1）会产生分数，而触摸或不触摸不相关的比较（例如，A1B2）不会产生任何后果。 AB/AC 培训之后，参与者接受了未经培训的关系（即 BA/CA 和 BC/CB）以及协调和排序的测试。在 BA/CA 关系测试中，触摸视觉样本后，听觉刺激会与一个白框一起呈现，供参与者做出反应。在BC/CB关系测试中，触摸视觉样本后，出现视觉比较。在两次实验中，所有参与者都满足未经训练的关系和排序的出现标准。此外，24 名参与者中有 14 名正确地感知了所有视觉刺激。结果表明，听觉-视觉 S-MTS 程序是同步 MTS 的有效替代方案，用于建立条件关系和听觉-视觉等价类。
