    This study shows that training one form of "are" (auxiliary) can improve the use of another form (copula) in speech. These language forms belong to a single response class, aiding conversational use.

    Area of Science:

    • Linguistics
    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Speech-Language Pathology

    Background:

    • Investigating the linguistic behavior of individuals with intellectual disabilities.
    • Examining the response class of grammatical forms, specifically the present plural uncontractible forms of auxiliary and copula 'are'.
    • Utilizing a behavior training, reversal, and reinstatement design to analyze language acquisition and generalization.

    Observation:

    • A single subject, an adult female with intellectual disability, was studied.
    • Operant training contingencies were applied exclusively to the uncontractible auxiliary 'are'.
    • Probes assessed both auxiliary and copular 'are' production in sentences.

    Findings:

    • Training the uncontractible auxiliary 'are' led to generalized production of the uncontractible copular 'are'.

  • Reversing auxiliary 'are' production also reversed copular 'are' production, indicating a linked response class.
  • Reinstating auxiliary 'are' production automatically reinstated copular 'are' production.

    • Implications:

    • Auxiliary and copular 'are' forms, despite grammatical differences, function as a single response class.
    • Operant training and generalization strategies can effectively improve the use of trained linguistic features in conversational settings for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
    • This research provides insights into language learning mechanisms and therapeutic interventions for speech-language pathology.
