operations and/or discriminative stimuli and functions to obtain reinforcement from the
environment
language measures - CORRECT ANSWER -+Cognitive=
Language is measured topographically. How frequently are various units of language used, and
in what types of situations.
+Behavioral=
language is measured functionally- ABC format with the verbal operant as the unit of analysis
(much like we analyze our target behavior)
, Language therapies - CORRECT ANSWER -+Cognitive: therapy is focused on what and how you
communicate
+behavioral:
therapy is focused on why you communicate
Language units - CORRECT ANSWER -Cognitive: phonemes/morphemes(sounds/syllables)
grammar( the rules of language)
behavioral:
-verbal operants (how verbal behaviors function in the environment)
Early verbal operants - CORRECT ANSWER -Look at file
