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

Q

Point-to-Point Correspondence

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

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

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

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
Metonymical Tact Extension
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
Solistic Tact Extension
when you tact an SD with the rong word, misuse of a word with a similar one
27
Public Accompaniment
when observable stimuli accompanies private stimuli (e.g. teach a child to say 'ough' when hitting on the table) 
28
Collateral Responses
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
Common Properties
involve a type of generalization in which private stimuli share some of the features of public stimuli
30
Response Reduction
a type of generalization in which kinethestic stimuli arising from movement and positions acquire control over verbal responses
31
Convergent Multiple Control
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
Divergent Multiple Control
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
Thematic Verbal Operants
mands, tacts and intraverbals involve different response topographies controlled by a common variable (response different to SD) 
34
Formal Verbal Operants
echoic (imitation), textual and transcription, and involve control by a common variable w PtPC
35
Impure Tacts
occur when an MO shares control with a nonverbal stimulus
36
Autoclitic Relation
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
Primary Verbal Bx
the elementary verbal operants emitted by a speaker
38
Secondary Verbal Bx
involves verbal responses controlled by some aspect of the speaker's own, ongoing verbal bx
39
Autoclitic Tact
informs the listener of some nonverbal aspect of the primary vocal operant and is therfore controlled by nonverbal stimuli
40
Autoclitic Mand
controlled by an MO and enjoins the listener to react in some specific way to the primary verbal operant
41
Mand Training
involves bringing responses under teh functional control of MO's
42
Mand Training
involves bringing responses under the functional control of MO's
43
Echoic Training
involves bringing verbal responses under the functional control of verbal discriminative stimuli that have PtPC and formal similarity with the response
44
Tact training
involves bringing verbal responses under the functional control of nonverbal discriminative stimuli
45
Intraverbal Training
involves bringing verbal responses under the functional control of verbal discriminative stimuli that lack PtPC with the response
