We investigated autistic children's generalisation of social communication over time across three settings during a play-based assessment with different adults and explore the potential moderating effects on generalisation of age, nonverbal IQ and level of restricted and repetitive behaviours. The social communication abilities of 248 autistic…

Distributional Learning of Syntactic Generalizations
Direct linkDirect link
Daoxin Li – ProQuest LLC, 2024
During language acquisition, children are tasked with the challenge of determining which words can appear in which syntactic constructions. This has been long recognized as a learnability paradox. On one hand, there are generalizations that children must learn. On the other hand, language is known for its arbitrariness, so children also need to…

Toward Establishing a Qualifying Autoclitic Repertoire in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Todd M. Owen; Nicole M. Rodriguez – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
Autoclitics are secondary verbal operants that are controlled by a feature of the conditions that occasion or evoke a primary verbal operant such as a tact or mand. Qualifying autoclitics extend, negate, or assert a speaker's primary verbal response and modify the intensity or direction of the listener's behavior. Howard and Rice (1988)…

Abdulkadir Haktanir; A. Stephen Lenz; M. Furkan Kurnaz – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2024
This study aims to identify the mean alpha coefficients of the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS-5) and examine the moderator role of trauma type and study location. We included studies using the CPSS-5 and reporting a Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Our analysis of 27 studies (k = 31) revealed a mean alpha coefficient of 0.91 for the CPSS-5. Mean…

Weekly Treatment for Childhood Apraxia of Speech with Rapid Syllable Transition Treatment: A Single-Case Experimental Design Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Donna Thomas; Elizabeth Murray; Eliza Williamson; Patricia McCabe – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The aim of this study was to pilot the efficacy of rapid syllable transition (ReST) treatment when provided once per week for a 50-min treatment session for 12 weeks with five children with childhood apraxia of speech. Of central importance was the children's retention and generalization of gains from treatment as indicators of speech…

The Nonmeek Inherit the Earth: Children Generalize Dominance, but Not Submissiveness
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hannah Hok; Katie Vasquez; Anam Barakzai; Alex Shaw – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Children and even infants have clear intuitions about power early in development; they can infer who is dominant and subordinate from observing a single interaction. However, it is unclear what children infer about each individual's status from these interactions--do they think dominants and subordinates will maintain their status when interacting…

Generality as an Interaction between Recombinative Generalization and Derived Relational Responding
Direct linkDirect link
Jessica Lee Paranczak – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Recommendations for achieving generalized instructional outcomes often overlook the capacity for generative learning. We sought to demonstrate how decontextualized and logically organized instruction would lead to derived and contextually appropriate recombinative generalization and arbitrarily applicable relational responding (AARRing) in…

Learners' Spontaneous Gesture before a Math Lesson Predicts the Efficacy of Seeing versus Doing Gesture during the Lesson
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Eliza L. Congdon; Elizabeth M. Wakefield; Miriam A. Novack; Naureen Hemani-Lopez; Susan Goldin-Meadow – Cognitive Science, 2024
Gestures--hand movements that accompany speech and express ideas--can help children learn how to solve problems, flexibly generalize learning to novel problem-solving contexts, and retain what they have learned. But does it matter who is doing the gesturing? We know that producing gesture leads to better comprehension of a message than watching…

Cassandra Alighieri; Camille De Coster; Kim Bettens; Valerie Pereira – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: This study compared the occurrence of different types of generalization (within-class, across-class, and total generalization) following motor-phonetic speech therapy and linguistic-phonological speech therapy in children with a cleft palate ± cleft lip (CP ± L). Method: Thirteen children with a CP ± L (M[subscript age] = 7.50 years) who…

Jonathan L. Preston; Nicole F. Caballero; Megan C. Leece; Dongliang Wang; Benedette M. Herbst; Nina R. Benway – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study examines how ultrasound biofeedback and intensive treatment distribution affect speech sound generalization during an evidence-based treatment, Speech Motor Chaining, for children with persisting speech errors associated with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Method: In a 2 × 2 factorial randomized controlled trial, children…
