Deficiencies on verbal and symbolic behavior are central to Autism Spectrum Disorder
(ASD). In this way, procedures like stimulus-stimulus pairing (SSP) are used to produce
verbal behavior in individuals with limited repertoires. The present study aimed at
evaluating the effects of SSP in the establishment and/or strengtheing of vocal responses in
ten children diagnosed with ASD and limited vocal repertoire. The procedure consisted in
ten sessions in which one target syllable was paired with high-preference item and another
syllable served as control. The results point to the effectiveness of the procedure in inducing
and strengthening vocal responses in children with diferent repertoires. The rate of the target
response increased due to the pairing of the sound with the high-preference item for most of
the children, even when initial response rate was zero. The evaluation of the temporal
profiles showed that each child has his or her specific profile, be it after the target sound of
after the control sound. We hope that our data on response profiles can help to improve
verbal-behavior teaching methods for people with difficulties. |
