SKINNER'S QUOTE OF THE DAY

  • Verbal Behavior: Extended Edition. Chapter 9: Multiple Causation. Quote 5

    Under a carefully generalized reinforcement, the type of verbal operant called the tact approaches the condition in which its form is determined by only one variable. But insofar as the response is likely to have a special effect upon the listener, it varies in strength with the states of deprivation or aversive stimulation associated with that effect. (p. 234)
