Participants were 38 residents (aged 22-47 yrs) recruited from a community and residential training facility for persons with developmental disability, and community homes operated by the center. It was found that discrimination skill (visual, auditory-visual, and auditory-auditory discriminations) was a better predictor of performance on verbal operant assessments than level of functioning based on diagnosis. The results showed high test-retest reliability for the test of verbal operants and no hierarchical relationship was found among the three verbal operants. The results suggest that the ABLA Level 6 might be a possible bridging task for teaching echoics, tacts, and mands. Further research is needed to ascertain the relation between the auditory matching tasks and the verbal operants. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved) %@ 0889-9401
