SANTOS, Rafael Ernesto Arruda; ASSIS, Grauben José Alves de  and  BORBA, Marilu Michelly Cruz de. Conditional discrimination teaching sentences about syntactic emergency for the deaf. Perspectivas [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.1, pp. 86-100. ISSN 2177-3548.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18761/pac.2015.033.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the teaching of conditional discriminations of words and sentences on the emergence of syntactic relations from the construction of sentences in affirmative assertions in subject-verb-complement composition (SVC) and negative, in the composition subject-adverb negation ("NÃO") - verb-complement (SAVC) in deaf children. Participants have already submitted repertoire in Libras and showed no repertoire in Portuguese before the procedure (evaluated by pretesting). The study used three sets of stimuli: A - Signs in Libras, B - words written in Portuguese and C - figures. The procedure adopted was the matching-to-sample (MTS) to teach reading words. After pre-testing, training and testing with MTS, the participant was exposed to the constructed response matchingto-sample (CRMTS) for the teaching of affirmative sentences (SVC) and negative (ACLS). Next, specific tests for CRMTS evaluated the formation of new sentences. The results showed a behavioral variability between 60% and 80%. The three participants were able to select the words in the scheduled orders, despite the control of certain letters or syllables have occurred. The use of CRMTS to construct sentences was effective.
