Percent unprompted correct responses per session for three trained sets of tacts (set 1, set 2, and set 3) for each participant (P1, P2, P3, and P4), during training sessions with delayed echoic prompts, with and without reinforcement for correct answers after correction procedures

Endnotes

1Tact: A verbal operant controlled by non-verbal antecedent stimuli and maintained by generalized reinforcement (Skinner, 1992). For example, a child sees a toy bear and says “Bear.”

2Echoic: a verbal operant controlled by verbal stimuli and maintained by generalized reinforcement, in which there is point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity between antecedent and response (Skinner, 1992). For example, a child hears her father say “Good girl” and she repeats “Good girl.”
