This video really helped me out with a better understanding of stimulus equivalence. I’ll be able to use this to help me in school and at my current work setting! Thank you, Evan Rubin for showing me this video!!
This is one of my favorite topics! However, I know many people who struggle with this as it is a bit complex. I think Amanda's break down and example with "car" makes it easy to understand each part of stimulus equivalence!
Thanks so much for watching. ABA isn't always as straight forward as we'd like to think. We are glad we could make it a little easier. Please feel free to check out more content !!
Love this! Also, I'm always confused by the people who thumbs down these videos. Did they just stumble across the video and not get it? Is if for social attention? Trolling? Lol. Regardless, they amuse me.
What are the limits in what you can use as variables for transitivity? Can we use any nouns and verbs, etc? Or what are those linguistically boundaries?
Thanks so much for commenting and watching the video. I love this question. So Transitivity is the hardest out of the 3 in the sequence to fully explain but the video does an amazing job of clearing it up. As far as variables you can use, i would try to limit it to what's a common teaching topic or something that can be commonly found. You wouldn't want to choose something abstract, at least not at first, and not have many opportunities to run teaching trials on it. So for example we wouldn't choose a socket wrench. Yes, it can be found in store but it's not in everyone's homes or freely available during a session. When we work on stimulus equivalence its important we don't overcomplicate things. Unless the skill is mastered, in which case the individual may be able to freely identify in all categories. So the short and sweet answer is there are boundaries but as long as they are frequently seen or used activities, items or actions then it should be fine. Thanks so much for this question and I hope i answered it. Please feel free to comment more or check out some of our other videos!
I know it has been a year already, but anyway you can virtually train any matching to sample. The easy answer is yes. An example from equivalence for picture - picture: bitten apple - Iphone image
I think ALL behavior analysts should be using stimulus equivalence to increase the rate of skill acquisition.....such an overlooked method!!! Also, ACT 4 lyfe!
