摘要：In the present study, five deaf children were taught to produce stimuli sequences by an overlappingprocedure under conditional control. The procedure was computerized. The stimuli were presented onthe screen of the computer and the participants were to select them sequentially (e.g., A1 A2, in thepresence of the green color and A2 A1 in the presence of the red color). If the sequence wasproduced in agreement with the programmed contingencies, an animation was presented for thecorrect answer plus praise signs in Brazilian Language of Signs. Different sequences produced thedarkening of the screen for 3s and the re-presentation of the trial. The criterion of performancerequired three consecutive attempts without errors. All participants performed the criterion, one ofthem needed re-exposition to the teaching conditions. Next, behavioral tests were applied. In thetransitivity (e.g.,A1 A3), connectivity (e.g.,A1 B2 A3), transfer of functions (e.g., A1 D2) andgeneralization tests (e.g., a rubber, two glasses, three boxes) all participants answered according to theprogrammed contingencies in most of the trials. The results corroborated the efficiency of theprocedure, suggesting that equivalence of sequential stimuli can occur even under conditional controlamong deaf children. It is our purpose to expand this study to five terms contingencies.
