Equivalence class training successfully taught musical concepts to children. This demonstrates the power of equivalence classes for symbolic behavior and artistic skill development.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Music Education

Background:

  • Equivalence classes offer a framework for understanding complex symbolic behavior.
  • Previous research suggests potential applications in educational settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of equivalence class training in learning musical symbols and sounds.
  • To assess the acquisition of equivalence classes in children and a child with Down syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Three experiments were conducted using equivalence class logic.
  • Participants learned to associate musical symbols and sounds to form equivalence classes.
  • Training involved acquiring necessary relations to build classes of five members each.

Main Results:

  • Three equivalence classes (do, mi, sol) were successfully acquired in the first experiment with 6-6 year olds.
  • Five and seven equivalence classes were obtained in subsequent experiments with children aged 6.5 years and a 17-year-old with Down syndrome.
  • Results indicate successful application of equivalence class training for musical learning.

Conclusions:

  • Equivalence classes provide a theoretical explanation for human symbolic behavior.
  • This approach shows educational benefits for learning basic elements in artistic skills.
  • The findings support the use of equivalence class training in educational contexts.
