Course Description

This presentation will outline several aspects of verbal behavior related to relational frame theory (RFT), including stimulus equivalence and rule governance, and will explore how this framework can be applied to improve relational repertoires in multiple populations. Additionally, behavioral flexibility training (BFT) will be defined and emphasized through the presenter's own research on BFT.

What You'll Learn

  1. Identify Skinner's analysis of instruction and conditioning of listener behavior as foundational to understanding rule-governed behavior.
  2. Describe the function-altering effects of verbal stimuli as they relate to rule governance in behavior analysis.
  3. Evaluate the argument for abandoning the term 'rules' in favor of a functional analysis of verbal stimulus effects on listener behavior.
