Topography, structure
A common misconception about Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior is that he did not accept
the formal classifications of language, such as grammar and structural linguistics, because his
focus was on the______________ classifications. - ANSWER functional

- ANSWER reinforced, listener
Verbal behavior, in ABA, includes both ____________-verbal and nonvocal-verbal behavior. -
ANSWER vocal
A ____________________ is the unit of analysis for verbal behavior and are identified by the
operant's functional relation between a type of responding and variables such as motivating
variables, discriminative stimuli, and consequences. - ANSWER verbal operant

, The three types of _____________ relations are echoic, motor imitation, and copying text. -
ANSWER duplic
Duplic relations have a history of ______________ reinforcement. - ANSWER generalized
The ______________ is under the control of specific reinforcement whereas the all other
operants produce generalized conditioned reinforcer. - ANSWER mand
The echoic occurs when the speaker repeats the verbal behavior of another speaker with point-
to-point correspondence and ______________ . - ANSWER formal similarity
Unlike the echoic, the ______________ does not have point-to-point correspondence because
the speaker differentially responds to another's verbal behavior. - ANSWER Intraverbal
The listener is the mediator of reinforcement for the speaker as well as the discriminative
stimulus for the speaker's - ANSWER behavior

different times is likely under - ANSWER divergent multiple control
Verbal behavior that is controlled by multiple stimuli and is a blend of a tact and a mand is
called an - ANSWER impuretact
An ______________ is verbal behavior controlled by nonverbal stimuli that informs the listener
