Hats off to you Amanda Mecker!

[@nckuot89]

Great video

[@alexchabot999]

This video really helped me out with a better understanding of stimulus equivalence. I’ll be able to use this to help me in school and at my current work setting! Thank you, Evan Rubin for showing me this video!!

[@bernardbaugh1503]

Awesome job Amanda in describing the types of equivalence classes and providing examples for us to understand these behavior analytic concepts better!

[@jasminel.martinez5864]

This is one of my favorite topics! However, I know many people who struggle with this as it is a bit complex. I think Amanda's break down and example with "car" makes it easy to understand each part of stimulus equivalence!

[@kellyking5518]

Nicely presented, Amanda!

[@bigleapsspeech3465]

Wow! SO happy I cam across this video! I was having a little trouble understanding the concepts. Thank you so much!

[@fernandoorozco7282]

Amanda, I love it

[@fleishasims3588]

🎃.. thanks..

[@brookefick5694]

What are the limits in what you can use as variables for transitivity? Can we use any nouns and verbs, etc? Or what are those linguistically boundaries?

[@Erin-oy3io]

Are there any stimulus equivalence examples that don’t involve language? (Ex:something other than written/spoken word equivalent to picture/object?)

[@IcanSeeMyselfOutThanks]

I think ALL behavior analysts should be using stimulus equivalence to increase the rate of skill acquisition.....such an overlooked method!!!
