Simeone, Paul J.; Schlosser, Ralf W.; Frampton, Sarah E.; Shane, Howard C.; Wendt, Oliver – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Miniature linguistic systems (also known as matrix training) is a method of organizing learning targets to achieve generative learning or recombinative generalization. This systematic review is aimed at determining whether matrix training is effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in terms of improving recombinative…

Pearl, Lisa – Language Learning and Development, 2022
Poverty of the stimulus has been at the heart of ferocious and tear-filled debates at the nexus of psychology, linguistics, and philosophy for decades. This review is intended as a guide for readers without a formal linguistics or philosophy background, focusing on what poverty of the stimulus is and how it's been interpreted, which is…

Goldstein, Howard – Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities, 1983
Research on the environmental conditions promoting generative language learning is reviewed. Recombinative generalization is introduced as a principle of stimulus control that enables individuals to express and to comprehend novel utterances. Alternative matrix-training procedures should be considered in attempts to optimize the development of…

Welch, Steven J. – Mental Retardation, 1981
Research (1968-1978) on the development of generative grammar in mentally retarded students is summarized for such topics as noun pluralization and suffixes, pronouns, adjectives, articles, verbs, prepositions, interrogatives, and generalization. Unresolved issues in generalization are noted. (CL)

Lombardino, Linda J.; And Others – Exceptional Children, 1981
The authors address several issues pertinent to designing environmentally based total communication assessment and training programs for language delayed hearing children for whom oral language training alone is inadequate. (Author/CL)

Connell, Phil J. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1988
The paper addresses the confusion over the meaning of the term "generalization" when used in the literature on language disorders. Three distinct definitions of language generalization are compared corresponding to three prominent theoretic approaches to language acquisition and teaching. (Author/DB)

Goetz, Lori; Sailor, Wayne – Topics in Language Disorders, 1988
To produce spontaneous and generalized language use by severely disabled individuals, the language training context and content must be examined. Training methods can better approximate the conditions of natural language use when they involve: generation of spontaneous language responses to effect real-world changes, single performance "trials,"…

Warren, Steven F.; Kaiser, Ann P. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1986
A review of research on language handicapped, disadvantaged, and other children, indicates that incidental language teaching (natural unstructured interactions between adults and children and which allow adults to transmit new information and give children practice in developing communication skills) is a promising language intervention technique…

Spradlin, Joseph E.; Siegel, Gerald M. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1982
A persistent problem in language skills programs for children is how to promote generalization so the child can use communication skills in almost any situation. Consideration of the manner in which stimuli are presented, the kinds of responses required, and the way reinforcement is dispensed may help to solve the difficulty in moving from…

Goldstein, Howard; Hockenberger, Elaine Hontz – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1991
This review identifies five themes of child language intervention: (1) development of augmentative and alternative communication systems; (2) provision of language stimulation to take advantage of observational learning; (3) teaching of various language functions; (4) teaching of language as a means of environmental and self-control; and (5) study…

Stromer, Robert; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
This review of research discusses how children with autism may acquire equivalence classes after learning to supply a common oral name to each stimulus in a potential class. A proposed methodology for researching referent naming and class formation, analysis of stimulus classes, and generalization is offered. (CR)

Hunt, Pam; Goetz, Lori – Topics in Language Disorders, 1988
The article describes the use of interrupted behavior chains to teach communication skills in natural settings with autistic students. Empirical and theoretical bases for the training strategy are explained as are specific procedures for implementing the strategy. Implications of the strategy for classroom organization and service delivery are…

Peterson, Pete – Behavior Analyst Today, 2004
Delays in language acquisition can have serious deleterious effects on the education and social development of children. A number of related language intervention procedures have been developed for use in natural settings. These procedures include incidental teaching, modeling, manding, time-delay, and milieu language teaching. The present paper…
