What does Skinner mean when he says that theanalysis has, up to this point, reduced the role of the speaker as a causalagent determining his own verbal behavior (pp. 311-312)? |
It reduces the role of the speaker as a causal agent because environmental variables control variables. |
|
What is the basis of Skinner’s unwillingness toattribute complex behavior to a controlling self or personality (p. 312)? How does he interpret the concept of the selfin terms of multiple repertoires of behavior (p. 313)? |
Skinner says that these terms are just behavior. Multiple repertoires are emitted in different contexts. When talking about personality or self, it is just different response patterns being emitted.
|
|
What is the relationship between tacting one’sown behavior and self-awareness (p. 314)? |
Tacting your own behavior is self awareness.You become self aware when you bring covert visualization under SD control. |
|
What is an autoclitic? Give several different examples, and explainwhy each is an autoclitic (p. 315)? |
Autoclitic-A verbal operant maintained by the effect it has on the reinforcement of other verbal operants. |
|
Descriptive autoclitic which indicate the emotional ormotivational conditions of the speaker (pp. 313-321). |
D. Autoclitic occasioned by stimuli associated with emotional responding |
|
Descriptive autoclitic those which inform the listener of the type of verbal behavior they accompany, |
A. I see informs the listener of what comes next; it's under control of stimuli associated with other verbal operants |
|
Descriptive autoclitic which describe the state of strength of a verbal response |
B. Stimuli that are associated with the response are either highly likely or unlikely (I guess, I imagine) |
|
Descriptive autoclitic which describe the relations between responses and other verbal behavior, |
C. Your responding as a listener occasions the response "I agree" or "I disagree" |
|
Descriptive autoclitic |
An autoclitic under discriminative control of stimuli associated with accompanying responses
|
|
Discuss several different examples ofautoclitics which specifically mand listener behavior (pp. 321-322). |
"Listen" mands for attention. Ditto, vice versa Specifically act as mands and occasion compliance of the listener |
|
What is a qualiflying autoclitic? What does it qualify (p. 322)? |
Qualifying autoclitic is an autoclitic that modifies the intensity or direction of the listener's response. They qualify tacts |
|
Why is negation considered a qualifyingautoclitic? Illustrate your answer withsome examples (pp. 322-326). |
Negation reverses the direction of the listener's response to a verbal stimulus. (Bring me that vs don't bring me that) |
|
What special problem in the analysis of verbalbehavior is raised by such responses as, “There is no orange juice on thetable”? What solution does Skinnerpropose to this problem (pp. 322-323)? |
The absence of a stimulus is not a stimulus that occasions responding. The passage of time since the question in the absence of a response occurring occasions the response "no". |
|
Explain why expressions containing “not” andaffixes such as “-less” may not indicate any autoclitic activity in a giveninstance. Why may genuine negation be asrare as genuine metaphorical or metonymical extension (pp. 325-326)?. |
They may not be autoclitics at all; just intraverbals. If it becomes a standard response, it isn't an autoclitic.
|
|
Why is assertion considered a qualifying tact? |
It increases the strength of the listener's response
|
|
Assertion which indicate thatthe response is emitted as a tact
|
A. That IS a table |
|
Assertion which indicate thatthe response is emitted as an intraverbal |
The order of the words "BIG BAD ____" "Red, White, and ____"
|
|
Assertion which indicate that certainlimits of stimulus control have been respected |
Looks like a, wolf-like |
|
Assertion which indicate the kind or degreeof tact extension |
kind of, sort of
|
|
Assertion which indicate theprobability or correspondence between a future event and the controllingstimulus
|
Perhaps we will where will addresses tense and assertion, perhaps is probabilistic |
|
What is a quantifyingautoclitic? Give and explain several different examples (pp. 329-330). |
A quantifying autoclitic is an autoclitic under discriminative control of numerical properties of stimuli that associated with the accompanying response. |
|
Compare and contrastmanipulative autoclitics and relational autoclitics. |
Manipulative autoclitics require responding on the part of the listener before effective action is occasioned. Relational autoclitics are autoclitics in which relations among verbal stimuli occasion differential responding in the listener. |
|
Operant |
Defined by its maintaining reinforcer
|
|
Discriminated operant
|
Defined in terms of stimuli occasioning it as well as the reinforcer maintaining it |
|
Conditional Discrimination |
Responding in accordance to a 4 or more term contingency
|
|
Rule Governed Behavior |
Behavior occasioned by a conditional verbal discriminative stimulus maintained by SR+ for rule following as a higher order operant
|
|
Contingency shaped behavior
|
behavior that is purely a function of its consequences
|
|
Collateral Consequences |
Supplemental reinforcement encounter by rule following |
|
How can rule-governed behavior be manipulated? How is this differentthan modifying contingency-shaped behavior? |
Manipulate antecedent and consequences, or both. With rule governed behavior, you can get responding that you would never get with contingency shaping (terrorist example). Also, if you have a rule that is bad, and receives socially mediated SR+, you may need to uproot them from the environment. |
|
Describe a situation in which responding is related to two sets ofcontingencies. |
Studying |
|
What does it mean when you say that, “the solution to a novel problem isnot itself entirely nove |
Response sequence that you go through to solve the problem is not novel, all the steps have been previously established. |
