Unit 9 Flashcards
Anyone who functions as a discriminative stimulus that evokes behavior.
Audience
A verbal behavior that modifies the functions of other verbal behaviors.
Autoclitic relation
Schedules of reinforcement that exist at the same time for two or more different behaviors.
Compound schedule of reinforcement
Refers to dependent and/or temporal relations between operant behavior and its controlling variables.
Contingency
An elementary verbal operant that is evoked by a nonvocal verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity with the controlling response.
Copying a text
An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity with the response.
Echoic
A behavior controlled by any physical movement that serves as a novel model excluding vocal-verbal behavior, has formal similarity with the model, and immediately follows the occurrence of the model.
Imitation
An elementary verbal operant that is evoked by a verbal discriminative stimulus and that does not have point-to-point correspondence with that verbal stimulus
Intraverbal
An elementary verbal operant that is evoked by an MO and followed by specific reinforcement.
Mand
A compound schedule of reinforcement consisting of two or more basic schedules of reinforcement that occur in an alternating, usually random, sequence. No discriminative stimuli are correlated with the presence or absence of each element of the schedule, and reinforcement is delivered for meeting the response requirements of the element in effect at any time.
Mixed schedule
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.
Point-to-point correspondence
An elementary verbal operant evoked by a nonverbal discriminative stimulus and followed by generalized conditioned reinforcement.
Tact
An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence, but not formal similarity, between the stimulus and the response product.
Textual
An elementary verbal operant involving a spoken verbal stimulus that evokes a written, typed, or finger-spelled response.
Transcription
Behavior whose reinforcement is mediated by a listener; includes both vocal-verbal behavior (such as saying “Water, please” to get water) and nonvocal-verbal behavior (pointing to a glass of water to get water).
