1
Traditional Views of Language
focus on the structure of language
2
Skinnerian View of Language
focus on the function of language
3
Verbal behavior
operant behavior reinforced through the mediation of other persons
4
Forms of Verbal Behavior
speaking, signing, pointing, writing, gesturing, touching
5
Speaker
the individual emitting the verbal response
6
Listener
the individual the speaker interacts with
7
role of the listener
usually provides the antecedents and consequences for the speaker's verbal behavior
8
audience
composed of listeners who belong to a trained verbal community
9
cultural selection
the type of selection involved in the evolution of verbal behavior
10
elementary verbal operants
tact, mand, duplic, codic, intraverbal
11
tact
naming, labeling, describing
under the antecedent control of a non-verbal stimulus
12
mand
requesting, asking, commanding
under the antecedent control of an establishing operation (EO)
13
duplic
under the antecedent control of verbal stimuli with point-to-point correspondence and with formal similarity to the response
14
types of duplics
echoics, copying a text, mimetics
15
echoic
the repeating of a vocal verbal unit
(repeating, vocal imitation)
16
copying a text
has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity to the written verbal stimulus
17
mimetic
the imitation of a physical movement that is also a non-vocal verbal unit
(motor imitation)
18
codic
under the antecedent control of verbal stimuli with point-to-point correspondence but without formal similarity
19
types of codics
textual, taking dictation, finger spelling words heard, saying words seen finger spelled
20
intraverbal
under the antecedent control of verbal stimuli without point-to-point correspondence and with no formal similarity
21
multiple control
when the strength of a single response is a function of more than one variable
22
receptive language
under the antecedent control of a mand to comply
23
selection-based verbal behavior
the speaker selects a stimulus in the environment by pointing or finding a picture and handing it to the listener
24
topography-based verbal behavior
the listener discriminates what the speaker is "saying" based on the topography of the verbal behavior
25
higher-order class
an operant class that includes within it other classes that can themselves function as operants
26
rule-governed behavior
a higher-order operant response class that is under the control of verbal antecedent stimuli (known as rules)
27
function-altering effects of rules
alter the evocative or abative effect of other antecedent stimuli
