Differential observing responses (DORs) are additional response requirements used to promote orientation to a stimulus in a discrimination task. Farber and Dickson (2023) recently provided a DOR taxonomy, and these authors reported that no prior research has compared the effects of distinct DOR requirements. We compared the effects of two DOR requirements on textual responding by five children exhibiting reading deficits. Participants read a daily word list and were required to emit DORs that involved matching the compound or individual elements of the target stimulus. When a word was unknown, emitting the condition-specific DOR resulted in a tablet-produced echoic prompt. The DOR that required matching of the individual elements met the acquisition criterion in the fewest days for four participants but was not preferred by any participant. Implications for DORs in a problem-solving paradigm and conditions contributing to their efficacy are considered.
差异观察反应（DORs）是用于在辨别任务中促进对刺激物定向的额外反应要求。法伯和迪克森（2023年）最近提供了一种DOR分类法，这些作者报告说，之前没有研究比较过不同DOR要求的效果。我们比较了两种DOR要求对五名有阅读缺陷儿童文本反应的影响。参与者阅读每日单词列表，并被要求发出涉及匹配目标刺激物的复合或单个元素的DORs。当一个单词不认识时，发出特定条件的DOR会导致平板电脑产生回声提示。要求匹配单个元素的DOR在最少天数内达到了四名参与者的习得标准，但没有任何参与者偏好它。本文考虑了在解决问题范式中DORs的影响以及有助于其有效性的条件。
