Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulty generalizing from directly trained responses to untrained responses (i.e., emergent responding). In this study, we used a chain prompt combined with matrix training to teach 2 participants with ASD to tact 192 three-digit numerals. We used a multiple-baseline design across matrices to evaluate the treatment effects on trained and untrained tacts of numerals. Both participants mastered all numerals exposed to training and all numerals not exposed to training after 3 to 5 sixteen-trial sessions per matrix. One participant learned to tact 8 numerals for each 1 numeral exposed to direct training, and the other participant learned to tact 12 numerals for each 1 numeral exposed to direct training. We discuss these results relative to the effectiveness and efficiency of our chain prompt combined with matrix training for teaching tacting skills for targets with shared stimulus properties that facilitate generalization to untrained targets.

通过链式提示结合矩阵训练促进三位数的出现

患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的儿童难以将直接受过训练的反应概括为未经训练的反应（即紧急反应）。在这项研究中，我们使用链式提示结合矩阵训练来教 2 名 ASD 参与者使用 192 个三位数字。我们使用跨矩阵的多基线设计来评估对受过训练和未经训练的数字的处理效果。在每个矩阵 3 到 5 次 16 次试验后，两名参与者都掌握了所有接受过训练的数字和所有未接受过训练的数字。一名参与者在接受直接训练后，每 1 个数字就学会了 8 个数字，而另一名参与者则是在直接训练中，每 1 个数字就学会了 12 个数字。
