Relational Flexibility and Human Intelligence: Extending the remit of Skinner's Verbal Behavior

Abstract

The current article will discuss recent research encompassing the relevance of derived \nrelational responding in intelligence, and the establishment of procedures to target this \ntype of flexibility in derived relational responding in practical learning situations. The \nchapter will review research findings that indicate correlations between speed in flexible \nrelational responding and higher scores on IQ tests. Relevant to flexibility in relational \nresponding, research has demonstrated that children with autism showed poorer flexibility \nin relational responding than typically-developing peers, and procedures to remediate this \ntype of “rigid” responding are described. Research on derived manding also has practical \nimplications for incorporating derived relational responding into a mand training program \nto facilitate a “generative” or flexible component.
