Condition Grammar

The grammar for conditions is very trivial. It's simply: "expr op expr".

The Flex lexical description looks as follows:

 

[ \t\n]                          { /* skip spaces */ }
\%([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*)\%     { yylval.string = yytext; return IDENTIFIER; }
[0-9]*                           { yylval.string = yytext; return INTEGER_LITERAL; }
\<=                              { return LT; }
\<=                              { return LTE; }
==                               { return EQ; }
\>=                              { return GT; }
\>=                              { return GTE; }
.                                { yyerror("Unknown token: %s", yytext); yyterminate(); }

A Bison grammar looks as follows:

binary_expr
    : /* empty */
    | value LT value
    | value LTE value
    | value EQ value
    | value GT value
    | value GTE value
;
 
value
    : IDENTIFIER
    | INTEGER_LITERAL
;

This, of course, is the main activity of standard listener discrimination (LD) training (also identified as receptive labeling). The focus for this child might be to just get him to attend to his own name, or the name of a favorite person, pet, or character (e.g., \"There's Big Bird!\"). A variety of additional activities for developing listener skills can be found in the VB-MAPP Listener Task Analysis."

Again, procedures that establish attending to favorite items should be the focus of the intervention at this point. This child may also be ready for more intensive listener training, perhaps beginning with listener discriminations that involve only two stimuli in an array (e.g., responding to, \"Where's Cookie Monster?\" when shown Cookie Monster and a cat)."

The focus should now be on (1) increasing the number of items the child is able to identify as a listener, (2) begin generalization to different people, settings, and materials, etc., (3) beginning work on emitting specific motor actions on command, and (4) increasing the number of items in a visual array."

The other skills are clearly important, but not as critical as these four skills are for a child whose scores begin to reach the top of Level 1. At this point in the intervention program the focus should be on (1) increasing the number of items the child is able to identify as a listener, (2) increasing the number of items in a visual array\u2014more extensive use of pictures and the use of picture books, (3) an increased effort to generalize to different materials, (4) an increase in training on actions, and (5) more LD training in the natural environment and in the context of social games and social interaction."
