Title
Is fluency free-operant response-response chaining?
Volume
19(2), 211-224
Abstract
This article briefly reviews behavioral fluency and its 10 products. Fluency development requires three of the four free-operant freedoms: the freedom to present stimuli at the learner’s rhythm, the freedom to form the response, and the freedom to speed at the learner’s maximum frequency. The article closes with several suggestions that fluent performing is really operant response-response (R-R) chaining, and recommends further controlled laboratory research on free-operant R-R chaining.
