Comparing traditional match‐to‐sample training with observational learning to establish equivalence classes with adults
Bibliographic Data
The purpose of the current study was to compare the efficacy and efficiency of video‐based observational learning (OL) with traditional match‐to‐sample (MTS) training to establish three 3‐member equivalence classes of abstract visual stimuli with adult participants. Video models used during OL depicted a first‐person perspective of a computer screen with modeled on‐screen movements of a mouse cursor making comparison selections. Adult participants in the OL‐mixed group received training in which the video models depicted progressive increases in correct responding of modeled baseline relations across five blocks of trials. Participants in the OL‐expert group received identical training except that the models always depicted 100% correct responding across the five modeled trial blocks. Participants in the MTS group actively responded while completing five blocks of traditional MTS training. Posttest results showed that OL‐mixed training resulted in the highest mean percentage of class‐consistent responding and yield of equivalence classes relative to traditional MTS and the OL‐expert group despite minimal differences in total duration during training. Across the groups, nearly all who successfully demonstrated equivalence class formation during the computerized posttest also showed generalization of class‐consistent responding during the card sorting posttest. The results showed that OL‐mixed training was most effective and that the procedures were similarly efficient
