Term
|
Definition
| involves two interlocking levels of verbal behavior emitted in one utterance. One level is a primary response (e.g., |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| used to identify cir-cumstances in which behavior is evoked, shaped, maintained, or weakened by environmental variables occurring without direct manipulation by other people. |
|
|
Term
| bidirectional naming (BiN) |
|
Definition
| A higher-order verbal cusp consisting of the fusing together of the speaker and listener repertoires in bidirectional relations (Horne & Lowe, 1996). A new word acquired as listener can generate a tact without further training, and a new word acquired as a tact can generate a listener relation without further training (these effects are consistent with emergent symmetry and mutual entailment). |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A type of verbal behavior where the form of the response is under the functional control of a verbal stimulus with point-to-point correspondence, but without formal similarity. There is also a history of generalized reinforcement. |
|
|
Term
| compound verbal discrimination |
|
Definition
| Involves two or more verbal SDs (convergent multiple control) that each independently evoke behavior, but when they both occur in the same antecedent configuration, a different SD is generated, and a more specific behavior is evoked. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a verbal operant that is evoked by a nonverbal Sd that has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A type of verbal behavior where the form of the response is under the functional control of a verbal stimulus with formal similarity, and a history of generalized reinforcement. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An elementary verbal operant involving a vocal response that is evoked by a vocal verbal SD that has formal similarity between an auditory verbal stim-ulus and an auditory verbal response product, and a history of generalized reinforcement. |
|
|
Term
| elementary verbal operants |
|
Definition
| taxonomy of five different types of speaker behavior (i.e., expressive language) distinguished by their antecedent controlling variables and related history of consequences: mand, tact, intraverbal, duplic, and codic. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when the controlling antecedent and the response or response product (a) share the same sense mode and (b) physically resemble each other |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A behavioral effect whereby previously acquired speaker and listener skills enable or accelerate the acquisition of other speaker and listener skills, without dependence on direct teaching or a history of reinforcement. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a verbal discriminative stimulus that does not have point-to-point correspon-dence with that verbal stimulus. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| someone who provides reinforcement for verbal behavior, may also serve as an audience |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An elementary verbal operant involving a response of any form that is evoked by an MO and followed by specific reinforcement. |
|
|
Term
| motor imitation (relating to sign language) |
|
Definition
| A type of duplic verbal behavior in which the form of a motor response is under the functional control of a visual verbal SD that has formal similarity between a verbal stimulus and a verbal response product, and a history of generalized reinforcement. |
|
|
Term
| Multiple Control (of Verbal Behavior) |
|
Definition
| 2 Types: 1) Convergent multiple control: when a single verbal response is a function of more than 1 variable and what is said has more than one antecedent source of control; 2) Divergent multiple control: when a single antecedent variable affects the strength of more than one response |
|
|
Term
| Point-to-Point Corresponding |
|
Definition
| a relation between the stimulus and the 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 |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Responding is under stimulus control of a single antecedent stimulus condition; described by the three-term contingency: SD SRS SR+. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a nonverbal discriminative stimulus and followed by generalized conditioned rein-forcement. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The physical form or shape of a behavior. |
