Abstract
It was hypothesized that performance on auditory-auditory identity matching (AAIM) and auditory-auditory nonidentity matching (AANM) prototype tasks would be predictive of performance on other matching tasks (generalization tasks) involving similar discriminations with adults with intellectual disabilities. Results indicated that: (a) 10 participants who failed the AAIM and AANM prototype tasks failed 93% of the generalization tasks; and (b) 8 participants who passed both AAIM and AANM tasks passed all generalization tasks. The potential of adding these tasks to the Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities (ABLA) (Kerr, Meyerson & Flora, 1977) test to improve its utility for people with intellectual disabilities is discussed.
