A growing body of literature supports the use of echoic prompts toward conditioning other functional language skills. However, many individuals with autism spectrum disorder do not emit verbal behavior under echoic control. Identifying the prerequisite skills of an echoic repertoire may be beneficial for intervention planning and clinical decision making. This session provides a deep dive into the echoic repertoire, examining how the operant was originally defined by Skinner (1957) and how contemporary research has led to a better understanding of echoic control. |
