Abstract:
This study evaluated effects of a teaching procedure of two-word sentence in a student with Deaf
and intellectual disability. The training was conducted using video-taped stimulus and multiexpression
modes (i.e., words writing and sign). In addition, the paradigm of stimulus equivalence
and the technique of instructive feedback were introduced. Both are applied in order to enhance the
efficiency of learning and facilitate the stimulus-class formation. The generalization of the acquired
stimulus-response relation was tested in the following three conditions; the motions presented a) in
a real situation, b)by different person, c) in different room and report them to a listener. Results
showed that the trained relation was acquired and the untrained relations were also emerged. The
transfer to expression was partly emerged. The generalization of stimulus-response relation was
established in all three conditions in writing, but not in sign. Implications for future applications of
this procedure in individuals with Deaf and intellectual disability are discussed.
Keywords: individuals with Deaf and intellectual disability, object-verb phrase, stimulus equivalence, multi-expression mode, instructive feedback
