Verbal Behaviour
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Audience | LISTENER; for verbal behaviour |
| Autoclitic | A secondary verbal operant in which some aspect of a speakers own verbal behaviour function as an SD or an MO for additional speaker verbal behaviour |
| Automatic Punishment | Punishment that occurs independently of the social meditation of others (response product serves as a punisher independent of the social environment) |
| Automatic Reinforcement | Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others (i.e. scratching a bite) |
| Convergent Multiple Control | Occurs when a single verbal response is a function of more than one variable |
| Copying a Text | An elementary verbal operant that is evoked by a nonvocal verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity with the controlling response |
| Divergent Multiple Control | Occurs when a single antecedent variable affects the strength of more than one responses |
| Echoic | REPEAT; Controlled by a verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity with the response |
| Formal Similarity | When the controlling antecedent stimulus and the response or response product share the same sense mode + physically resemble each other |
| Generic (TACT) Extension | The novel stimulus shares all of the relevant or defining features of the original stimulus |
| Impure Tact | A verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by both an MO and a nonverbal stimulus; thus, the response is part mand and part tact |
| Intraverbal | Verbal discriminative stimulus evokes a verbal response that does not have a point-to-point correspondence with the verbal stimulus |
| Listener | Someone who provides reinforcement for verbal behaviour; may also serve as an audience evoking verbal behaviour |
| Mand | COMMAND, DEMAND; verbal operant for which the form of the response under the functional control of motivating operations and specific reinforcement |
| Metaphorical (TACT) Extension | The novel stimulus shares some but not all of the relevant features associated with the original stimulus |
| Metonymical (TACT) Extension | Verbal responses to novel stimuli that share none of the relevant feature of the original stimulus configuration, but some irrelevant but related feature has acquired stimulus control |
| Multiple Control | Two types: Convergent + Divergent |
| Point-Point Correspondence | A relation between the stimulus and response pr response product that occurs when the beginning, middle, and end of the verbal stimulus matches the beginning, middle, and end of the verbal response (echoic/ copying a text/ textual/ etc) |
| Private Events | Events only accessible to the speaker; have the same physical status as public events, but it is more difficult for the verbal community to shape tacts of private events. |
| Solistic (TACT) Extension | Occur when a stimulus property that is only indirectly related to the tact relation evokes substandard verbal behaviour such as malprops (i.e. "you read good" instead of "you read well") |
| Speaker | Someone who engages in verbal behaviour by emitting mands, tacts, intraverbals, autoclitics, etc; can also be sign language, written words, codes, pictures (PECS) |
| Tact | CONTACT; verbal operant under the functional control of a nonverbal discriminative stimulus, and it produces generalized conditioned reinforcement |
| Textual | Has point-to-point correspondence, but no formal similarity, between the stimulus and the the response product |
| Transcription | Consists of writing and spelling words that are spoken |
| Verbal Behaviour | Behaviour that is reinforced through the mediation of another persons behaviour |
| Verbal Operant | Used to describe one of the components of expressive language; mand/ tact/ echoic/ intraverbal |
