| Exploring the IRAP: Different Stimuli, Different Relations, Same Procedure |
| Tuesday, May 30, 2006 |

| Abstract: The Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) is a relatively new method for examining derived relational responding (DRR). While the more traditional method of examining DRR has been with the Matching-to-Sample procedure (MTS), some data suggests that the IRAP is a more sensitive measure of DRR than the MTS. It also provides a more accessible means for examining relations other than equivalence, such as true/false, more than/less than, etc. However, the body of research to substantiate these possibilities is yet to be conducted. This symposium contains a set of early, exploratory projects with the IRAP. The studies include stimuli with race, religious, gender, and obesity functions and true/false, yes/no, right/wrong, and same/opposite relations. |

| Race Functions and True/False Relations with the IRAP. |

| Abstract: The Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) is a relatively new procedure allowing an examination of derived relational responding (DRR). While the more traditional method of examining DRR has been with the Matching-to-Sample procedure (MTS), some data suggests that the IRAP is a more sensitive measure of DRR than the MTS. It also provides a more accessible means for examining relations other than equivalence, such as true/false, more than/less than, etc. However, a body of research to substantiate these possibilities is yet to be conducted. The current study examines DRR among stimuli with evaluative and race functions in respect to the relations ‘true’ and ‘false’. |
