Document Summary
Takes a look at how we learn things. Most things when young are arbitrary because somebody called it that thats what you"re going to call it (no relational frame to put it into context) Child looks over at small stuffed animal yes, there"s teddy! (echoic) The earliest and most basic form of arbitrary relation reference. Rely heavily on physical properties (heavy, temporal, size, colour, etc. ) Reference point; no relational frame to put into context so need to rely on direct reference. As children develop, they are able to derive relations from items not present, by comparison, non-physical feature. Past reference points = piece blossomed vocabulary together (making connections) By age 1 children develop a small vocabulary; approx. 50% of children with asd can"t communicate verbally (cannot make relational frames) Rote responding is common (i say, you say just repeating back; cannot spontaneously generate language) Poor understanding/use of idioms, colloquial language (cannot understand common language usage (sarcasm, expressions, etc. ))
