Abstract
Experiments 1, 2, and 3 investigated generalized contextually controlled symmetry and asymmetry in typically developing children and
children with autism. In Experiment 1, eight typically developing children demonstrated the target performances without intervention. In
Experiment 2, multiple-exemplar training and the use of familiar stimuli appeared to be effective in establishing the target performances for
some of the children with autism. Experiment 3 examined an alternative intervention, based on alternating between correct and incorrect
responding, for children with autism who appeared to have even greater difficulties in establishing contextually controlled symmetry and
asymmetry. The findings are discussed in the context of the existing
literature and interventions for establishing new repertoires in children
with developmental disabilities.
