CABRAL, Rebeca Pereira; ASSIS, Grauben José Alves de  and  HAYDU, Verônica Bender. Emergence of reading in children with school failure: effects of control by exclusion. Rev. bras. ter. comport. cogn. [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.3, pp. 88-101. ISSN 1517-5545.

In a previous study children responded by exclusion in a matching to sample procedure (MTS), but not all learned the relationships between names and objects after a single exclusion trial. Aiming to investigate exclusion responding on teaching to read words in a play setting after a single exclusion trial, and test the efficacy of this procedure to develop reading words formed by the recombination of syllables, five children with a history of school failure were submitted to a MTS procedure. All participants chose by exclusion, learned new conditional relations between written words and spoken words after a single exclusion trial, and were able to read some of the words of the generalization test. These results show that responding by exclusion on a MTS procedure was effective to: teach new conditional relations in a single trial, and to establish partial control by syllables.

Keywords : stimulus control; stimulus equivalence; exclusion responding; reading; children.
