Q

Verbal Behavior

A

Bx that is R thru the mediation of another person’s bx

Involves a social interaction btwn speakers and listeners, whereby speakers gain access to R and control their environment thru the bx of listeners

2
Q

Formal Properties of Verbal Bx

A

The topography of the verbal response; i.e. form, structure

Examples: articulation, prosody, intonation, pitch, and emphasis

3
Q

Functional Properties of Verbal Bx

A

The causes of the verbal response; i.e. Antecedents and consequences

4
Q

Verbal Operant

A

The unit of analysis of verbal behavior which is the functional relation between a type of responding and the same independent variables that control nonverbal behavior:

A.) motivating variables
B.) discriminative stimuli
C.) consequences

5
Q

Verbal Repertoire

A

A set of verbal operants emitted by a particular peson

6
Q

Mand

A

an elementary verbal operant that is under the functional control of an MO and followed by specific reinforcement

7
Q

Tact

A

an elementary verbal operant that consists of a non verbal SD that has PtPC and formal similarity with a verbal response

8
Q

Echoic

A

an elementary verbal operant that consists of a verbal SD that has PtPC and formal similarity with the verbal response

9
Q

Point-to-Point Correspondence

A

occurs between a stimulus and the evoked response when the beginning, middle and end of versbal stimulus matches the beginning, middle and end of the response

10
Q

Formal Similarity

A

it occurs when the controling antecedent stimulus and the response share the same mode (e.g. both are visual, auditory, tactile) and physically resemble each other

11
Q

Intraverbal

A

a verbal operant that is controlled by verbal SD that evokes a verbal response and NO point-to-point correspondance

12
Q

Textual Relation

A

an elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a verbal SD that has P-T-P correspondance but not formal similarity between that stimulus and the response

13
Q

Transcription Relation

A

an elementary verbal operant involving a spoken verbal stimulus that evokes a written, typed or finger-spelled response. There is p-t-p correspondance with the response product but no formal simialrity

14
Q

Listener

A

someone who provides reinforcement for verbal bx. A listener may also serve as an audience evoking verbal bx

15
Q

Speaker

A

someone who engages in verbal bx by emitting mands, tacts, intraverbals, autoclitics etc. also uses signs, gestures, codes, pictures etc

16
Q

Elementary Verbal Operants

A

1.mand, 2.tact, 3.echoic, 4.intraverbal, 5.textual, 6.transcription

17
Q

Elementary Verbal Operants

A

1.mand, 2.tact, 3.echoic, 4.intraverbal, 5.textual, 6.transcription

18
Q

Audience

A

anyone who functions as an SD for evoking verbal behavior

19
Q

Verbal Operants with PtPC

A

echoic, copying a text, imitation as it relates to sign language, transcription and textual

20
Q

Verbal Operants with Formal Similarity

A

echoic, copying a text and imitation

21
Q

Automatic Reinforcement

A

a type of conditioned R in which a response product has the R properties as a result of a specific conditioning history

22
Q

Automatic Punishment

A

a type of conditioned P in which a response product has P properties as a result of a specific conditioning history

23
Q

Generic Tact Extension

A

when a novel stimulus shares all the relevant or defining features of the original stimulus (e.g say car when see BMW and mazda)

24
Q

Metaphorical Tact Extension

A

when a novel stimulus shares some but not all the relevant or features associated with the original stimulus (e.g two stimuli elicit similar responded behaviors)

25
Q

Metonymical Tact Extension

A

a verbal response to novel SD that share none of the relevant features of the original stimulus configuration but some irrelevant but related feature has acquired stimulus control (e.g. saying car when showing a picture of garage)

26
Q

Solistic Tact Extension

A

when you tact an SD with the rong word, misuse of a word with a similar one

27
Q

Public Accompaniment

A

when observable stimuli accompanies private stimuli (e.g. teach a child to say ‘ough’ when hitting on the table)


28
Q

Collateral Responses

A

publicly observable behavior that occurred by a private stimuli (e.g one holding head and crying and teach him to say ‘I am in pain’)


29
Q

Common Properties

A

involve a type of generalization in which private stimuli share some of the features of public stimuli

30
Q

Response Reduction

A

a type of generalization in which kinethestic stimuli arising from movement and positions acquire control over verbal responses

31
Q

Convergent Multiple Control

A

when a single verbal response is a function of more than one variable, eg different sources might control a response (MO, verbal SD, non verbal SD)

32
Q

Divergent Multiple Control

A

when one variable affects the strenght of many responses (e.g. seen a car and say car or ford or vehicle OR being hangry and say ‘I want to eat’ or lets go to the restaurant’)

33
Q

Thematic Verbal Operants

A

mands, tacts and intraverbals involve different response topographies controlled by a common variable (response different to SD)


34
Q

Formal Verbal Operants

A

echoic (imitation), textual and transcription, and involve control by a common variable w PtPC

35
Q

Impure Tacts

A

occur when an MO shares control with a nonverbal stimulus

36
Q

Autoclitic Relation

A

involves two related but separate three-term contingencies in which some aspect of the speakers own verbal bx functions as the SD or Mo for further speaker verbal bx

37
Q

Primary Verbal Bx

A

the elementary verbal operants emitted by a speaker

38
Q

Secondary Verbal Bx

A

involves verbal responses controlled by some aspect of the speaker’s own, ongoing verbal bx

39
Q

Autoclitic Tact

A

informs the listener of some nonverbal aspect of the primary vocal operant and is therfore controlled by nonverbal stimuli

40
Q

Autoclitic Mand

A

controlled by an MO and enjoins the listener to react in some specific way to the primary verbal operant

Q

Mand Training

A

involves bringing responses under the functional control of MO’s

43
