You work at a clinic that focuses on teaching verbal behavior to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ages 3-5. Each time you hire a new staff member, you have to train the new staff on the basics of verbal behavior. Compose a document that you can share with new staff as a “cheat sheet” on the basics of verbal behavior. You do not have to attach an actual document, instead paste your response into the Discussion Board. Your “cheat sheet” for staff should cover the following:

A brief description of Skinner’s view of how language is learned.

A description of each of Skinner’s six elementary verbal operants (mand, tact, echoic, intraverbal, textual, and transcription). Your description must include the controlling antecedent and consequence.

A novel, real-life example for each verbal operant. These should be new examples and not examples that you read in your textbook or that were shared by your instructor.
