Abstract
"Differential observing responses (DOR) have been an effective intervention to remediate overselective stimulus control with individuals with intellectual disabilities. Experiment 1 examined the effects of a non-verbal DOR requirement on a 2-sample delayed matching-to- sample (DMTS) task. Twelve individuals diagnosed with intellectual disabilities completed the study. Initially, the accuracy of all 12 participants was in the overselective range (between 50- 83%) on the 2-sample DMTS task. The introduction of the DOR requirement in the form of a compound simultaneous matching-to-sample (SMTS) task increased accuracy to high levels for 6 participants."
