摘要
We evaluated the emergence of untaught second-language skills following directly taught listener and intraverbal responses. Three preschool children were taught first-language (English) listener responses (e.g., Point to the horse) and second-language (Welsh) intraverbal responses (e.g., What is horse in Welsh? [ceffyl]). After intervention, increases in untaught second-language tacts (e.g., What is this in Welsh? [ceffyl]) and listener responses (e.g., Point to the ceffyl) were observed for all 3 participants.
