| Sumario: | The interrupted chain procedure is used to teach children with limited verbal repertoires to independently mand for missing items required to complete a task. Previous research has used interrupted chains to teach children with autism autoclitic mand frames for information on the location of missing items and persons in possession of the missing items. We extended previous research by (a) measuring generalization of autoclitic frames both within and between tasks with multiple known missing items that the participants could tact, (b) assessing whether or not the autoclitic frames would emerge following tact training of unknown items, and (c) determining if participants could be taught a mand that would result in the appropriate information to evoke the autoclitic frame for unknown items. Following training, the two boys with autism who participated in this study were able to independently mand for known missing items without direct teaching and mand for information on unknown missing items. |
