“…Two "relational training" protocols have been developed within behavior analysis which are explicitly derived from this operant view of relational responding: SMART (Strengthening Mental Abilities with Relational Training; Cassidy et al, 2011) and the PEAK relational training system . Both SMART and PEAK have shown efficacy at improving relational responding abilities (Beck et al, 2023;Dixon et al, 2021;May et al, 2022). As well as this, there is growing evidence that these training programmes may also lead to improvements on other outcomes such as IQ and educational attainment, which serves to further support the idea of relational responding as foundational in human cognition (e.g., Hayes & Stewart, 2016; but see May et al, 2022;Thirus et al, 2016).…”

The current study examined the effect of an online relational skills training program, strengthening mental abilities with relational training (SMART), on scores on standardized classroom diagnostic assessments. Several previous studies suggested that this novel intervention has a reliable impact on intelligence scores and some domains of cognitive ability relevant in the educational setting. The current study employed a single-blind design and a matched control group in the delivery of the SMART intervention in 45-min sessions 1–3 times per week over approximately 10 weeks, with students completing the intervention within two weeks of each other. Standardized classroom diagnostic assessments were delivered pre- and post-intervention. The results showed that, controlling for baseline scores, the intervention group performed significantly better than the controls in the mathematics and reading domains post-intervention. Gains in both reading and mathematics were large and significant from pre- to post-intervention for the treatment group, but modest significant gains were also found for the control group.

Applying relational frame theory (RFT) to language intervention programs allows behavior analysts to maintain a focus on programming for generative language by providing systematic multiple exemplar training to establish repertoires of derived relational responding. Applying Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior provides for a focus on identifying sources of control for discriminated responding, and effective means of teaching early verbal operants. Both emphasize the centrality of repertoires of cooperation in language development, and an expansive understanding of contextual control. Our work emphasizes the utility of integrating these two approaches, and this article outlines the relevant theoretical background and empirical basis for assessment and teaching programs, discusses points of intersection of the two approaches, provides examples of application, and prompts future research efforts.
