Abstract
The effects of correspondence training on subsequent verbal control over play behavior with non- referred toys was investigated. Correspondence training resulted in subsequent verbal control for three of four children. It was also found that the group data, as typically presented in similar research, did not consistently reflect individual trends. Experiment II assessed generalization of verbal control across non-toy play behaviors. No generalization occurred. In both Experiments I and 11, maintenance of behavior change following correspondence training occurred only when no competing response was reinforced. Experiment III found that correspondence could be trained in the one child who failed to respond appropriately during Experiment I, by teaching her to recite a "correspondence rule."
