Examples of Teaching Verbal Behavior to Mediate Responding is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In Examples of Teaching Verbal Behavior to Mediate Responding, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →This symposium explores interpretations and clinical examples of relying on Skinner's taxonomy of verbal behavior to teach mediated responses to tasks. The session will guide practitioners on applying evidence-based methods to teach jointly controlled responses and suggest future applications for teaching. Joint control involves verbal responses that mediate other verbal or non-verbal responses under appropriate conditions, providing insights into everyday scenarios like remembering a phone number, remember something that was previously seen, or solving a problem without aids. Additionally, the session will address a conceptualization of observational learning (OL) through the lens of a verbal behavior based analysis to enhance practitioners' effectiveness in designing procedures to teach an OL repertoire.
