Individuals with an autism spectrum disorder or communication delay may experience deficits in tacting. Furthermore, children, with and without language impairments, acquire tacts of objects earlier than tacts of actions, suggesting that tacts of actions may be more difficult to learn (e.g., Sheng & McGregor, 2010). One variable that may impact acquisition of tacts of actions is the type of stimulus (e.g., picture of the action; video of the action) used during training. This study compared acquisition of tacts of actions taught using pictures, videos, and in vivo models. Data were also collected on generalization and maintenance of the acquired tacts as well as participant preference towards the stimulus mode used during tact training. All three participants acquired all tacts, independent of the stimulus mode used during training. However, tacts of actions taught using an in vivo model were acquired in fewer sessions and had greater generalization and maintenance outcomes. In addition, preference for a specific stimulus mode was idiosyncratic across participants.

评估刺激模式对动作机智的获取、维持和概括的影响

患有自闭症谱系障碍或沟通迟缓的人可能会出现机智缺陷。此外，无论有无语言障碍的儿童，比动作机智更早地获得对象机智，这表明动作机智可能更难学习（例如，Sheng & McGregor，2010）。一个可能影响获得动作节拍的变量是训练期间使用的刺激类型（例如，动作的图片；动作的视频）。这项研究比较了使用图片、视频和体内模型教授的动作技巧的获得。还收集了有关获得的机智的概括和维护以及参与者对机智训练期间使用的刺激模式的偏好的数据。所有三名参与者都获得了所有机智，与训练期间使用的刺激模式无关。然而，使用体内模型教授的动作技巧在较少的课程中获得，并且具有更大的概括和维护结果。此外，参与者对特定刺激模式的偏好是特殊的。
