Term
|
Definition
| A class of verbal operants that modify the consequences produced by other verbal operants. |
|
|
Term
| Conditional discrimination |
|
Definition
| Differentially responding to a stimulus depending on the presence or characteristics of other stimuli (i.e., the stimulus context) |
|
|
Term
| Conditioned establishing operation (CEO) |
|
Definition
| Environmental event that because of an individual's learning history temporarily increases the effectiveness of behavioral consequences and the probability of behaviors that in the past have resulted in those consequences |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A class of verbal relations where a vocal verbal stimulus occasions a formally similar corresponding vocal response; generalized imitation of vocal verbal behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A characteristic of verbal relations such that they occur in the same sensory mode and have physical resemblance. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Topographically similar behaviors that have different functions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A conditional discrimination arrangement in which the SD is identical to the conditional stimulus along one or more physical dimensions |
|
|
Term
| Interlocking contingencies |
|
Definition
| A behavior chain involving at least two individuals where the response for each successive link is performed by a different individual; most often used to describe the contingencies for the verbal behavior of a speaker and a listener |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A class of verbal operants regulated by verbal discriminative stimuli such that a one verbal response by a speaker is a the SD for a subsequent verbal operant. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A class of verbal operants that is regulated by establishing operations (e.g., deprivation, aversive stimulation, etc.) and the reinforcer(s) corresponding with those EOs. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Verbal behavior that arises from contingencies that integrate the echoic and tacting response classes of the individual as speaker with the conditional discrimination behavior of the individual as listener. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A behavioral relation such that after training one stimulus as the SD when a second arbitrary stimulus is the conditional stimulus, the second stimulus will function as an SD when a stimulus identical to itself is the conditional stimulus. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Testing for symmetry after symbolic matching-to-sample training by switching the roles of the sample and comparison stimuli |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Interlocking contingencies between a speaker and a listener |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A phenomenon characterized by the emergence of some untrained behavioral relations of sameness, called derived relations, as a byproduct of explicitly training other behavioral relations, thereby creating an equivalence class that includes all possible behavioral relations involving those stimuli |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A conditional discrimination arrangement in which the SD and the conditional stimulus are arbitrarily paired as a match |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The reversibility of a behavioral relation such that after training one stimulus as the SD when a second arbitrary stimulus is the conditional stimulus, the second stimulus will function as an SD when the first stimulus is the conditional stimulus. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The rules that govern the construction and grammar of language |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A class of verbal operants whose form is regulated by specific nonverbal discriminative stimuli and that is maintained by generalized reinforcement from the verbal community |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A class of verbal operants in which a written stimulus occasions a vocal verbal response |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The transfer of a behavioral relation to new combinations through shared membership such that after training two SD conditional stimulus relations that share one common element, new relations will emerge among the two unshared elements such that each will serve as an SD when the other is the conditional stimulus. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Behavior that is reinforced through the mediation of other people, but only when the other people are behaving in ways that have been shaped and maintained by an evolved verbal environment |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The customary ways that individuals reinforce the behavior of individuals producing verbal operants. |
