Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to
determine the relationship between the use of
photography and vocabulary acquisition.
Specifically, it was designed to look at the
responses photographs elicited as compared to
responses that traditional therapy materials,
such as the use of representational flash cards,
elicited. The investigation also looked at
reinforcement and subject involvement in
therapy. The results indicated that the value of
photographs had no initial impact but in post
treatment had an apparent residual effect.
Implications and recommendations are
presented.
