mand - correct answer ✔✔is a verbal operant maintained by a characteristic reinforcer and sensitive to
motivating operations for that reinforcer
request - correct answer ✔✔a mand that results in compliance on the part of the listener without the
need for any additional stimulation
command - correct answer ✔✔1. a mand accompanied by the delivery of aversive stimulation for which
the stimulation is removed contingent upon compliance
2. compliance is SR- for listener
entreaty - correct answer ✔✔1. is the delivery of eliciting stimuli, along with the mand that results in
emotional responding and subsequently increases the likelihood of listener compliance with the mand.
2. Examples: sad animal commercials, prayer
question - correct answer ✔✔is a mand maintained by verbal response of the listener
advice - correct answer ✔✔is a mand maintained by the effect it has on the listener obtaining positive
reinforcement for subsequent responding
what maintains advice - correct answer ✔✔listener may not follow advice right away;
speaker may not be around when listener complies with mand
maintained by immediate response of the listener; may loose its effect if the listener doesn't follow
through
warning - correct answer ✔✔is a mand maintained by the effect it has on the listener obtaining negative
reinforcement for subsequent behavior
, Example: "don't touch a hot stove"

reinforcement of the speaker's behavior
2. intention is in the contingencies of reinforcement
Dynamic properties - correct answer ✔✔1. energy level
2. speed
3. repetition
4. latency
5. temporal distribution
concealed mand - correct answer ✔✔A mand in which the topography has changed, which may
decrease the aversive stimulation and result in an increase in likelihood of compliance because it
suggests deference to the needs and opinions of the listener
