Abstract

Experimental studies have been investigate the variables that can influenciate the emission of correspondent say-do verbal reports. The present research aims verify the efficacy of two different correspondence training procedure to maintenance and generalization of correspondent reports about errors and correct responses during reading tasks, did before the occasions of report. Twelve children with typical development, divided in two groups, are the participants. Each group of participant will be submitted to a different teaching procedure: six children will receive dots after the emission of a correspondent report (CT1) and the other six children will receive social praises (CT2). The children will do tasks in the computer. First of all, they will read a word presented in the center of screen and after that, the children will select a green square to report a correct reading or a red square to report an incorrect reading. The experimental design will follow an ABA sequence (A represents the baseline and B the correspondence training) and a multiple baseline between participants in the same experimental group. After the training, the correspondence will be evaluate in different tasks (mathematics and musics tasks). The correspondent reports will be asses in a follow up 30 and 60 days after de end of last baseline. (AU)
