This is a free preview and your progress is not being tracked. Purchase access to complete this module for CEUs.

With the intraverbal, what we have just said or written can control subsequent writing or speaking behavior for which there is no point-to-point correspondence between the stimulus and the response. This is a somewhat important notion that we shall return to when we consider how verbal behavior is actually constructed.

Intraverbal

A form of verbal behavior with the following features:

A verbal response

The prior controlling variable is a verbal stimulus

There is NO point-to-point correspondence between the stimulus and the response

The specific topography and dynamic characteristics of the vocal response

The musculature involved in executing the response

The modality of the prior verbal stimulus (usually either visual or auditory)

Dynamic features of either the stimulus or the response

The “correctness” of the response
