| Abstract | |
Studies about the role of responding by exclusion in vocabulary acquisition have focused on relations object name or name-figure, but it is unclear whether this process is involved, and how the learning of different lexical categories, adjectives (properties object), for example. This study aimed to compare the learning of name-texture relations by participants with different development profiles (children with typical development and individuals with intellectual disability) in two teaching procedures for exclusion. The study included 24 subjects, 12 typically developing (DT Group) and aged between 5 and 6 years, and 12 with intellectual disabilities 8-13 years aged (DI Group), all with level of language development between 5 and 6 years. The stimuli used were dictated words (names of different textures) and tactile stimuli (objects made with different textures, referring to the dictates names). The procedure had four phases. The first investigated whether the participants knew the names of familiar textures (rough and smooth) - baseline. In the first two textures (rough and smooth) were taught using referential linguistic contrast (CAC). In the second condition, another two textures (wrinkled and velvety) were taught in procedure teaching by exclusion (SAC). The criterion for learning was 100% correct in probes block; teaching blocks were conducted to achieve this criterion. One week after each condition, maintenance probes were conducted of the names of adjectives taught. In the third and fourth phase, general maintenance probes (SMG) and generalization probes - SG (different objects with the same taught textures) were held, as well as appointment of probes, presenting the six objects with different textures taught. Both groups had similar performance: the CAC condition, participants had to, on average, a teaching block to reach the criterion of learning; SAC on condition needed on average two blocks. The Condition CAC favored the learning of new words from a smaller number of teaching blocks, however, the minimal exposure, in both conditions difficult to maintenance and generalization of this learning. It discusses the role of the reference linguistic contrast to contextual clue in learning adjectives in a teaching procedure for exclusion. (AU) | |
