Introduction to Verbal BehaviorCommon properties - correct answer ✔✔is a way in which the verbal community brings verbal behavior
under the control of private stimuli. Its defining features include a response topography controlled by a
feature or features of a public stimulus and a novel private stimulus that has properties in common with
the public stimulus.
Response Reduction - correct answer ✔✔Response reduction is a way in which the verbal community
brings verbal behavior under the control of private stimuli. Its defining features include a verbal response
controlled by the speaker's own overt behavior, private kinesthetic stimuli that are collateral with
observable public stimuli, and the response then is reduced in magnitude to the point where no public
stimuli are produced.
Multiple controlling variables - correct answer ✔✔is a situation in which there is a single response form
and that response is simultaneously strengthened by two or more controlling variables.
Multiple responses - correct answer ✔✔is a situation in which there is a single controlling variable and
that controlling variable simultaneously strenghtens two or more different response forms.
Fragmentary Sources of Strength - correct answer ✔✔A type of stimulus control with the following
features:
- The response form is multiply controlled
- At least one of the controlling variables strengthens only one part of the response form
Prompt - correct answer ✔✔1. It is a supplementary stimulus
2. The person providing the supplementary stimulus can identify the response that the speaker is likely
to emit
Supplementary Stimulation - correct answer ✔✔It sums with another controlling variable to evoke a
response in a case of multiple controlling variables
The supplemental variable, by itself, is never likely to be sufficient to evoke the response
, Probe - correct answer ✔✔1. It is a supplementary stimulus
2. The person providing the supplementary stimulus cannot identify the response that the speaker is
likely to emit
distorted/impure tact - correct answer ✔✔Tacts that have received the most reinforcement in the past
are most likely to occur again, even if the stimulus conditions are not quite appropriate.
If a response is only partially controlled by a prior non-verbal stimulus due to controlling influence by
either generalized or non-generalized reinforcement, the response is called a
(tact) - correct answer ✔✔The _________(tact/mand) relationship primarily benefits the listener,
especially when the form of the tact is primarily controlled by a non-verbal stimulus in the environment.
Often, however, a second variable may partially control the form of the response.
- correct answer ✔✔In some cases, a controlling variable or variables will simultaneously strengthen
more than one response. This can result in fragmentary recombination, where a response is emitted that
is composed of elements or fragments of each strengthened response.
- correct answer ✔✔Fragmentary recombination can occur at the word level or the phrase level.
A word blend is a fragmentary recombination of letters or phonemes.
A phrase blend is a fragmentary recombination of entire words.
