Another way in which private stimuli can gain control over a response involves the behavior of the speaker themself. We learn to describe our own behavior because the verbal community can react to the response-products of it and differentially reinforce appropriate descriptive responses. For that matter, the speaker can also react to those stimuli: they can see themself move or hear themself talk. But the individual is also being affected by kinesthetic stimuli that are produced by their body’s movement in the muscles, tendons, and joints.
