Question 1

autoclitic

Accepted Answer

The autoclitic relation involves two interlocking levels of verbal behavior emitted in one utterance. One level is a primary response, while the other type is the secondary autoclitic response.

Question 2

automatic contingencies

Accepted Answer

Used to identify circumstances in which behavior is evoked, shaped, maintained, or weakened by environmental variables occurring without direct manipulation by other people.

Question 3

bidirectional naming

Accepted Answer

A higher-order verbal cusp consisting of the fusing together of the speaker and listener repertoires in bidirectional relations (Horne & Lowe, 1996).

Question 4

codic

Accepted Answer

A type of verbal behavior where the form of the response is under the functional control of a verbal stimulus with point-to-point correspondence, but without formal similarity. There is also a history of generalized reinforcement.

Question 5

compound verbal discrimination

Accepted Answer

Involves two or more verbal SDs (convergent multiple control) that each independently evoke behavior, but when they both occur in the same antecedent configuration, a different SD is generated, and a more specific behavior is evoked.

Question 6

copying text

Accepted Answer

An elementary verbal operant involving a written response that is evoked by a written verbal discriminative stimulus that has formal similarity and a history of generalized reinforcement.

Question 7

duplic

Accepted Answer

A type of verbal behavior where the form of the response is under the functional control of a verbal stimulus with formal similarity, and a history of generalized reinforcement.

Question 8

echoic

Accepted Answer

An elementary verbal operant involving a vocal response that is evoked by a vocal verbal SD that has formal similarity between an auditory verbal stimulus and an auditory verbal response product, and a history of generalized reinforcement.

Question 9

elementary verbal operants

Accepted Answer

Michael’s (1982) term for Skinner’s (1957) taxonomy of five different types of speaker behavior distinguished by their antecedent controlling variables and related history of consequences: mand, tact, intraverbal, duplic, and codic.

Question 10

formal similarity

Accepted Answer

Occurs when the controlling antecedent stimulus and the response or response product (a) share the same sense mode and (b) physically resemble each other.

Question 11

generative learning

Accepted Answer

A behavioral effect whereby previously acquired speaker and listener skills enable or accelerate the acquisition of other speaker and listener skills, without dependence on direct teaching or a history of reinforcement.

Question 12

intraverbal

Accepted Answer

An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a verbal discriminative stimulus that does not have point-to-point correspondence with that verbal stimulus.

Question 13

listener

Accepted Answer

Someone who provides reinforcement for a speaker’s verbal behavior. A listener may also serve as an audience evoking verbal behavior.

Question 14

listener discrimination

Accepted Answer

When verbal SD evokes a specific nonverbal behavior, due to a history of reinforcement.

Question 15

mand

Accepted Answer

An elementary verbal operant involving a response of any form that is evoked by an MO and followed by specific reinforcement.

Question 16

motor imitation (relating to sign language)

Accepted Answer

A type of duplic verbal behavior in which the form of a motor response is under the functional control of a visual verbal SD that has formal similarity between a verbal stimulus and a verbal response product, and a history of generalized reinforcement.

Question 17

multiple control

Accepted Answer

1: Convergent multiple control occurs when a single verbal response is a function of more than one variable. 2: Divergent multiple control occurs when a single antecedent variable affects the strength of more than one response.

Question 18

point-to-point correspondence

Accepted Answer

A relation between the stimulus and response or response product that occurs when the beginning, middle, and end of the verbal stimulus matches the beginning, middle, and end of the verbal response.

Question 19

private events

Accepted Answer

Covert events typically accessible only to the person experiencing them. 3 assumptions: 1-private events are behavior; 2-distinguished from other behavior only by its inaccessibility; 3-private behavior is influenced by the same kinds of variables

Question 20

selection-based (SB) verbal behavior

Accepted Answer

A category of verbal behavior in which the speaker points to or selects a particular stimulus; what is conveyed to the listener is the information on the stimulus selected.

Question 21

simple verbal discrimination

Accepted Answer

A single-component word or phrase evokes a nonmatching intraverbal response

Question 22

speaker

Accepted Answer

Someone who engages in verbal behavior by emitting mands, tacts, intraverbals, autoclitics, etc. A speaker is also someone who uses sign language, gestures, signals, written words, codes, pictures, or any form of verbal behavior.

Question 23

tact

Accepted Answer

An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a nonverbal discriminative stimulus and followed by generalized conditioned reinforcement.

Question 24

tact extension

Accepted Answer

Once a tact has been established, the tact response can occur under novel stimulus conditions through the process of stimulus generalization.

Question 25

taking dictation

Accepted Answer

A spoken verbal stimulus that evokes a written, typed, or fingerspelled response that does not have formal similarity between the stimulus and the response, but does have point-to-point correspondence and a history of generalized reinforcement.

Question 26

textual

Accepted Answer

A response that is evoked by a written verbal discriminative stimulus that does not have formal similarity between the stimulus and the response, but does have point-to-point correspondence and a history of generalized reinforcement.

Question 27

verbal behavior

Accepted Answer

Behavior whose reinforcement is mediated by a listener; includes both vocal-verbal behavior and nonvocal-verbal behavior. Encompasses the subject matter usually treated as language and topics such as thinking, grammar, composition, and understanding.

Question 28

verbal conditional discrimination

Accepted Answer

A type of convergent multiple control involving a verbal stimulus that alters the evocative effects of another verbal stimulus in the same antecedent configuration. The conditional discrimination is between the words in the antecedent event.

Question 29

verbal episode

Accepted Answer

An interaction between a speaker and a listener. A speaker emits any type of verbal response and a listener (1) serves as an audience for a speaker, (2) provides reinforcement for a speaker, and (3) responds in specific ways to the speaker’s behavior.

Question 30

verbal function-altering effect

Accepted Answer

Verbal stimuli can alter the functional effects of immediate or future SD s and MOs and change a listener’s behavior.
