Do ABLA Test Results Predict Performance on Three-Choice Discriminations for Persons With Developmental Disabilities? Lori A. Doan, Toby L. Martin, C.T. Yu, and Garry L. Martin
Abstract The Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities (ABLA) test assesses the ease or difficulty with which persons with developmental disabilities are able to learn 2-choice visual and auditory discriminations. We examined the ABLA's ability to predict 3-choice discrimination performance with 12 adults with developmental disabilities. Participants performed significantly better on 3-choice tasks that require discriminations that they passed on the 2-choice tasks than on 3-choice tasks that require discriminations that they failed on the 2-choice tasks, strengthening the ABLA's predictive validity. Theoretical and applied implications of these results are discussed. download article >>
