Abstract
MacDonald and Ahearn (2015) produced generalized performance of observational learning (OL) using multiple exemplars. The purpose of the present study was to teach labeling of emotion picture cards to children with ASD by conducting a component analysis of the OL procedure (MacDonald & Ahearn, 2015), which included attending, imitation, delayed imitation, and discriminated consequences. Researchers used a concurrent multiple baseline across participants design to evaluate a component analysis of the effects of each component of the OL procedure. The primary dependent variable was to demonstrate increases in percentage of independent correct responding to the OL responses and correct responding to task variation that occurs during the teaching phase. The results of the study showed that two of the three participants did not require specific teaching of all components from the OL procedure before engaging in OL.
