define each of the elementary verbal operants

Posted: September 27th, 2023

Using the textbooks and other scholarly sources to help guide you, define each of the elementary verbal operants; identify whether each operant has point to point correspondence and/or formal similarity, along with the kind of reinforcement that will function to maintain that verbal behavior. Finally, provide a real-life example of each operant from your own personal experience, identifying the specific SD that may evoke each verbal operant and the contingencies that occur as a result of that verbal behavior.
