Operant behavior reinforced through the mediation of other persons.
Verbal behavior
The individual emitting the verbal response.
Speaker
The individual the speaker interacts with.
Listener
Composed of listeners who belong to a trained verbal community.
Audience
Tact Mand Duplic Codic Intraverbal
Elementary Verbal Operants
Under the antecedent control of a non-verbal stimulus.
Tact
Under the antecedent control of an establishing operation (EO).
Mand
Under the antecedent control of verbal stimuli with point-to-point correspondence with formal similarity to the response.
Duplic
Echoics (vocal imitation repeating)
Copying a text
Mimetics (motor imitation)
Types of Duplic
The repeating of a vocal verbal unit.
Echoic
Has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity to the written verbal stimulus.
Copying a Text
The imitation of a physical movement that is also a non-vocal verbal unit.
Mimetic
Under the antecedent control of verbal stimuli with point-to-point correspondence but without formal similarity.
Codic
Under the antecedent control of verbal stimuli without point-to-point correspondence and with no formal similarity.
Intraverbal
Under the antecedent control of a mand to comply.
Receptive Language
The speaker selects a stimulus in the environment by pointing or finding a picture and handing it to the listener.
Selection-based Verbal Behavior
The listener discriminates what the speaker is “saying” based on the topography of the verbal behavior.
Topography-based Verbal Behavior
An operant class that includes within it other classes that can themselves function as operants.
Higher-order class
A higher-order operant response class that is under the control of verbal antecedent stimuli.
Rule-Governed Behavior
Alter the evocative or abative effect of other antecedent stimuli.
Function-Altering Effects of Rules
Behavior acquired via immediate reinforcement contingencies.
Contigency-Shaped Behavior
