Abstract

The following study includes a comparison between 3 different set sizes (4 sets of 3, 2 sets of 6, and 1 set of 12) for match-to-sample (MTS) learning. All sets were taught using a comparison array of three stimuli. The participant for this study reached mastery the fastest for all 12 stimuli within a pool for the pool that was taught using 1 set of 12 stimuli for the first data set with an auditory sample and for the pool taught with 2 sets of 6 stimuli for the second data set with a visual sample.
