Unit 3 Flashcards
Teaching Verbal Behavior
functional assessments and DRAs will often lead to
poor speakers becoming better listeners.
saying “milk” after eating a spicy meatball sandwich is an example of which verbal operant?
mand
fiona says “cat” she shrek says “cat”. this is an example of an
echoic
in a functional account of language, the unit of analysis is the…
verbal operant
in terms of writing the word “kite” when you hear the word “kite”, there is…
point-to-point correspondence but no formal similarity
ben says, “what is your favorite ice cream flavor?” jerry replies “cherry garcia”. jerry’s statement is an
intraverbal
harry asks sam to close the door, closing the door exemplifies:
manded stimulus selection
a boy has not eaten for a few hours and walks into a room where cookies are on the table. he says “cookie.” his saying cookie was: (verbal operant)
multiply controlled, mand and tact
in the echoic to mand stimulus transfer control procedures, the stimulus gradually faded to a motivational operation is a:
verbal stimulus
What are the advantages of picture selection?
audience, fine motor control is not needed
What best represents a speaker from a Skinnerian perspective?
one whose responses consist of speaking words, presenting pictures, typing words or using signs
with signs, a learner will be able to….
say more things to fewer people
carr and durand are noted for developing what procedure?
Functional Communication Training (FCT)
one major flaw in the DRO procedure, especially in terms of communication training, is that…
it does not target any specific response for reinforcement
_______teaches the client only a few limited, generic speaker responses.
Functional communication training (FCT)
skinner’s analysis of verbal bx has led to teaching techniques which can ideally result in
speakers with broad verbal repertoires under varying degrees of stimulus control depending upon the operant and the situation
“when a response form occurs reliably as one specific operant, gradually introduce the antecedent and consequent conditions of a new operant and fade the conditions of the original operant until this same response form occurs as the new operant.”
transferring stimulus control from one operant to another
what verbal operant should be taught first?
mands
What are advantages of interspersed skills/trials and mixed tasks?
- improves attentiveness
- reduces motivation to escape
- increases the probability of generalization
in compliance training, if the learner does not comply, the BA should…
remain with the learner until they comply
in the motor imitation to mand stimulus control transfer procedure, the demonstration stimulus is gradually faded and replaced by
motivational operations
fluency has two basic outcomes…
retention and rapid acquisition of complex or composite skills
two advantages of errorless teaching are…
minimizes errors and reduces the value of escape as a reinforcer.
