Maintenance of Stimuli Equivalence Classes: A Study with Students of Fundamental School
Main Article Content
Abstract
completed al the phases of the procedure. Of these nine participants all of them demonstrated equivalence
class formation and in the maintenance test, 1, 2 and 2 participants continued to show more than 90% of correct responses, when classes had 3, 4 or 5 stimuli, respectively. It was concluded that class size did not affected the formation of equivalence classes, but it was a small effect on the class maintenance.
