This study investigated the role of domain-general cognitive processes, specifically inhibitory control, verbal working memory (WM), and nonverbal reasoning, on children's productive grammar skills, focusing on Turkish past tense (e.g. firçala-DI brush-PAST.3sg) and causative suffix (e.g. firçala-t-TI brush-CAUSE-PAST.3sg), representing the…

We implemented tact matrix training to teach tacts of spatial locations to four children (male, 4-7 years of age) on the autism spectrum in China. The experimental design involved a multiple-probe design across participants with pre- and postinstruction probes on untaught tacts and listener responses. Learning outcomes included taught tacts of…
