Avaliando procedimentos de treino de profissionais na aplicação do ABLA-R (Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities Revised)

The ABLA-R (Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities Revised) is a useful test for assessing the discriminative abilities of individuals with autism and other developmental disorders. The studies that evaluated the teaching of the application of the most recent version of the test presented opposite results: indicating the efficacy of the test self-instructional manual or the need for additional training components. Furthermore, these studies did not evaluate the effect of feedback in training, or the effect of training in to teach professionals to apply ABLA-R. This study evaluated the effect of three training components on ABLA-R teaching for six professionals that working with people with developmental disorders: ABLA-R self-instructional manual, video feedback and role-play. Using a multiple probe design between pairs of participants, the efficacy of each component was evaluated separately and the efficiency of different combinations of these three components was evaluated. No component when used as the first training resulted in an accurate application of ABLA-R. In turn, the three training sequences of the three components used in the study proved to be effective in establishing accurate performance in applying the test to a confederate and a child with developmental disorder. The combination of the self-instructional manual with the video feedback resulted in the best performances. The importance of feedback for ABLA-R application training and ways to integrate manual and feedback use into more efficient forms of the test application training were discussed.

Efeito de consequências culturais de naturezas diferentes sobre um culturante
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-01-05) PAIXÃO JUNIOR, Francisco Denilson; TOURINHO, Emmanuel Zagury; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5960137946576592
The concept of metacontingency describes functional relations between interlocking contingencies (with their aggregate products) and cultural contingencies. We call culturant the recurrent unit of interlocking behavioral contingencies and their aggregate products. For more than a decade ago, behavior analysts have been dedicated to make the experimental evaluation of metacontingency’s relations. Current studies verified that verbal cultural consequences correlated with non-verbal cultural consequences produce more rate of recurrence of culturants than just cultural consequences of one nature only. However, the differential effects of cultural consequences dependent of the changes in experimental condiction on a culturant are unknown. This study evaluated the differential effect of cultural consequences of different natures (correlated or not) on a target culturant from an experimental preparation that applied an analogous ABAB single-subject design in a task of choosing color lines in a matrix. The dates suggests that there are more favorable conditions for the selection and maintenance of culturants than others and that stereotyped patterns of choices emerge under conditions of high stability of culturant recurrence. This study also has light on possibilities of studies related to uncontrollable aversive conditions and their effects on culturante.
