Abstract
The present chapter provides an overview of the stimulus-stimulus pairing procedure as it has been studied within applied behavior analysis, particularly in efforts to develop early vocalizations among individuals who are nonvocal or minimally vocal. The chapter begins with an overview of the conceptual foundations of the stimulus-stimulus pairing procedure, with specific attention to the respondent, conditioned reinforcement, and automatic reinforcement processes involved. Early research on the procedure is then reviewed, followed by an overview of literature reviews and more recent research. The chapter concludes with some implications for future research and practice, as well as a brief consideration of stimulus pairing research beyond that which is the focus of the chapter.
