Abstract
A recent tutorial by Cummings and Saunders (Behavior Analysis in Practice, 12, 483–490, 2019) described methods to arrange match-to-sample tasks using PowerPoint on laptops with touch screens. Similar paradigms may be used on tablet-based systems such as the iPad. Because iPads may be commonly used by behavior-analytic practitioners, modifications to the procedures described by Cummings and Saunders (2019) may facilitate the successful use of these systems in treatment programs. Here we describe additional procedures and settings that may increase practitioners’ success when using match-to-sample instructional arrangements on the iPad.
