Abstract

The paradigm of ordinal relations subsidizes interpretation and analysis of behavioral repertoires
involved in the acquisition of ordinal academic behaviors. Three children aged 4 to 5 years
participated in two studies using a computerized teaching procedure for overlapping pairs of stimuli.
The first step investigated the formation of ordinal relations after teaching two sequences, 1 to 6
numerals and their quantities. All formed transitive relations and ordinal classes. The second step
examined the emergence of these ordinal relations under conditional control in auditory-visual
modality. All formed transitive relations and there was no formation of ordinal classes. The results
were discussed in terms of greater understanding of ordinal response variables in auditory-visual
modality in preschoolers.
