摘要:The work reported here is part of a broader research program with the goals of analyzing the basic behavioral processes involved in academic repertoires and developing programs to teach those repertoires (de Rose, de Souza, & Hanna, 1996). In particular, we have investigated the efficacy of stimulus control methods to teach basic repertoires of reading and writing, which can be regarded as networks of stimulus-stimulus and stimulus-response relations. Although such relations may function independently (Lee & Pegler, 1982), they seem well integrated and interrelated in the repertoire of a competent reader. One of the mechanisms by which these different relations may become interrelated is the formation of equivalence classes (Sidman, 1994). The demonstration of equivalence classes comprised of printed words, dictated words, and environmental events or their corresponding pictures, permit us to infer that the printed words are symbols for the events, and that the students read the words with comprehension.
