1. What is self-editing? - correct answer ✔✔examining vb for their effect upon the the speaker or
prospective listener, and then either rejected or released.
2. Discuss how written and vocal behaviors are revoked in the process of self-editing. - correct answer
✔✔a. A response which has been emitted in overt form may be recalled or revoked by an additional
response.
b. Written - The external record of a speaker's written verbal behavior may cause the speaker to
experience the affect it has on him and edit or cross out the original response prior to it reaching
another listener. The speaker has reacted to and rejected their own behavior.
c. Vocal - This occurs in a similar way where the speaker is able to respond to their own vocal verbal
behavior if it has not had an effect on the listener to indicate the listener "understood" the initial
response. Examples include -
i. A response may be revoked if a listener asks the speaker to repeat the statement and the speaker
withholds the original response.
ii. If the listener has received the response the speaker may use a manipulative autoclitic to (e.g., "forget
it").
3. Discuss the self-editing of sub-vocal behavior, and of special cases involving responses that have not
yet reached their final forms. - correct answer ✔✔In such cases the speaker tests his behavior on himself
as a listener before offering it to the ultimate listener.
When there are strong reasons for emitting a response, inadequate holding may occur - whereby the
response may be whispered or mumbled or emitted with low energy and speed.
Behavior which has not been tested sub-vocally is so often aversive to others that the speaker who fails
to test may be enjoined to "stop and think" before speaking.
4. What role does emotional responding (e.g., feeling guilty) play in conditions where verbal behavior is
rejected? - correct answer ✔✔a. It may alter the strength of a punished response by conflicting with
motivational or emotional variables of which the response is a function. This occurs through a history of
punishment where a conditioned aversive stimulus elicits fear or guilt.
i. By reducing the aversive aspects of a situation at the same time is the reduction of emotion which
serves as an additional reinforcer
