RESUMO

This project aimed to (a) investigate functional independence between mand and tact selection-based verbal behaviors and (b) investigate variables that could facilitate that a given verbal topography taught in tact could be emitted in mand and vice versa. Four children diagnosed with autism and a child with language delay were participants of the study. To begin with, in Study 1, T1 was taught to emit pure tacts of five objects necessary for the implementation of a behavioral chain. Then he was tested in same topographies of responses in mand condition. Secondly, in Study 2, T2 was taught to emit two topographies of impure tacts (in addition to the participant being praised after tacting during training, he received a toy, which fulfilled the function of conditioned reinforcer) and tested in mand, while M1 and M2 were taught to emit two topographies of impure mand (besides acquiring the specific item after the emission of verbal response, the participants were praised by the experimenter) and tested in tact. Thirdly, in Study 3, M3 was taught to mand for four objects required to complete four behavioral chains. Concomitant with the selection-based verbal behavior emitted by the participant, the experimenter named (voice response) the required item. The results showed functional independence between mand and tact for selection-based verbal behavior. The training of verbal topographies in impure tact condition seemed to facilitated the same topographies to be emitted in mand condition, without direct training and vice versa. Finally, the vocal verbal response emitted by the experimenter appeared to facilitated to topographies taught in mand to be emitted by M3 in tact and also seemed to be important in the emission of vocal verbal responses
