In DRR Part 3 Assessing DRR and Transformation of Stimulus Functions, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better alignment between intervention and the family context in which it must survive, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →In the final part of this three-part series, we will put everything we have learned together and assess derived relational responding (DRR) and transformation of stimulus function skills in children. First, we will assess Reflexivity across all 5 of its sensory dimensions; auditory, visual, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory. Then we will delve deeply into assessing all relational frames of DRR across all levels of relational complexity (symmetry, transitivity, and equivalence) and all levels of stimulus complexity (nonarbitrary, cultural, and arbitrary) with an assessment of transformation of stimulus functions imbedded within. Data collection, analysis, and interpretation of results of the assessment will be discussed along with general recommendations for treatment using custom maps and visual aids that delineate the progress from non-vocal to fully generative language.
