24
Q

interspersed tasks and varied cues, when presented from the beginning of intensive instruction, almost certainly require the use of

A

errorless learning using most-to-least prompt fading

25
Q

if a child is non-compliant with a task, followed by a tantrum, and then followed by compliance with the original task, what should occur next?

A

no praise, no opportunity to mand, and another task

26
Q

after noncompliance has occurred, escape extinction takes the form of…

A

waiting with the learner until they comply

27
Q

verbal bx

A

Behavior that is socially-mediated and that has been trained by a verbal community.

28
Q

Forms of verbal behavior

A
  • speaking
  • signing
  • pointing
  • writing
  • gesturing
29
Q

the speaker (verbalizer)

A

the individual emitting the verbal response

30
Q

the listener (mediator)

A

the individual the speaker interacts with

31
Q

the audience

A

listeners who belong to a trained verbal community

32
Q

Elementary verbal operants

A

• Mands
• Tacts
• Intraverbals
• Duplics (echoic, copying a text, mimetic)
• Codics (textual, taking dictation, finger spelling,
etc. )

33
Q

Mand

A

A verbal response that is evoked by an establishing operation and is maintained by a specific reinforcer.

34
Q

T act

A

A verbal response that is evoked by a non-verbal stimulus and is maintained by socially-mediated reinforcement.

35
Q

Intraverbal

A

A verbal response that is evoked by a verbal stimulus without point-to-point correspondence and with no formal similarity and that is maintained by socially- mediated reinforcement.

36
Q

Duplic

A

A verbal response that is evoked by a verbal stimulus with point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity and that is maintained by socially-mediated reinforcement.

37
Q

Types of duplics

A
  • Echoic (vocal imitation of a verbal response)
  • Copying a text
  • Mimetic (motor imitation of a verbal response)
38
Q

codic

A

A verbal response that is evoked by a verbal stimulus with point-to-point correspondence but without formal similarity and that is maintained by socially- mediated reinforcement.

39
Q

types of codics

A
  • Textual (reading a text)
  • Taking dictation (transcriptive)
  • Fingerspelling words heard
  • Saying words seeing fingerspelled
40
Q

autoclitics

A

“A secondary verbal operant in which some aspect of a speaker’s own verbal behavior functions as an SD or an MO for additional speaker verbal behavior.”

41
Q
Receptive language
(Manded stimulus selection) (Manded compliance
A

A response evoked by a mand to comply and maintained by socially-mediated reinforcement.

42
Q

Selection-based verbal behavior

A

Verbal behavior that is reinforced by a verbal community based on what is being selected or pointed to.

43
Q

Topography-based verbal behavior

A

Verbal behavior that is reinforced by a verbal community based on the topography (form or shape) of the verbal response.

44
Q

Unit of analysis in a functional account of language

A

The verbal operant

45
Q

Advantages of B. F. Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior

A

Results in learners with full repertoires of specific, speaker responses.

46
Q

Functional communication training (FCT)

Carr and Durand

A

“An antecedent intervention in which an appropriate communicative behavior is taught as a replacement behavior for problem behavior usually evoked by an established operation (EO); involves differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA).”

47
Q

Limitations with functional communication training

A

Can result in learners with a few limited, generic, speaker responses based on molar functions.

48
Q

Transferring stimulus control from one operant to another

A

“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.”

49
