Behavior that is reinforced through the mediation of another persons behavior.
How skinner defined VB.
It involves social interactions between speakers and listeners, whereby leakers gain access to reinforcement and and control their environment through the behavior of listeners.
What VB involves.
A unit of analysis of VB is the functional relation between a type of responding an the same independent variables that control nonverbal behavior, namely motivating variables, discriminative stimuli and consequences.
Verbal operant
A verbal operant for which the form of the response is under the functional control of motivating operations and specific reinforcement.
Mand
A verbal operant under the functional control of a nonverbal discriminative stimulus and it produces generalized conditioned reinforcement.
Tact
Operant is controlled by a verbal discriminative stimulus that has point to point correspondence and formal similarity with response.
Echoic.
Operant occurs when a verbal discriminative stimulus evokes a verbal response that does not have point to point correspondence with the verbal stimulus.
Intraverbal
Operant has point to point correspondence but not formal similarity between the stimulus and the response product.
Textual
Consists of writing and spelling words that are spoken.
Transcription
A discriminative stimulus in the presence of which verbal behavior is characteristically reinforced and on the presence of which, therefore, it is strong.
Audience
Indicates that an effective consequence can occur without someone providing it.
Automatic reinforcement
The Novel stimulus shares all the relevant or defining features of the original stimulus.
Generic extension
The novel stimulus shares some but not all of the relevant features associated with the original stimulus.
Metaphorical extension
How a novel stimulus resembles a stimulus previously present when a response was reinforced.
Tact extensions
The occurrence of a single verbal response is a function of more than one variable
Convergent multiple control
