Each of these assistants was assigned to work with one of the participants. The author of this paper collected data for the original study with one of the participants, Leo1. The purpose of this paper is twofold: 1) To present and discuss data derived from the sessions with Leo; 2) To describe the tasks involved in working as a research assistant for the original study conducted by Miguel.
