Verbal Behavior: Extended Edition. Chapter 9: Multiple Causation. Quote 10

An example of a double tact is the proper name which is appropriate to its subject . . . If we know a man with white hair named Mr. Leblanc, the “common tact” will make it more likely that we shall call him by name, less likely that we shall forget his name, and so on. (pp. 236-237)
