Using B.F. Skinner’s Verbal Behavior to Analyze and Teach Language: Part 1: The Pure and Impure Verbal Operants
This session introduces attendees to B.F. Skinner's analysis of language (Verbal Behavior, 1957) and defines the core verbal operants in terms of functional relevance. Frost analyzes complex verbal operants and demonstrates how subtle changes in our teaching strategy may result in significant differences regarding what students learn. Participants will learn how an understanding of the mixed sources of control can lead to improvements in teaching strategies across all modalities of communication.
Using B.F. Skinner’s Verbal Behavior to Analyze and Teach Language: Part 2: Teaching Critical Communication Skills
This session discusses how to use Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior to create effective lessons for teaching spontaneous and responsive communication skills that are critical for independent participation in the home, work, school and community settings. Participants will learn how to create lessons to teach nine critical expressive and receptive communication skills using the principles of applied behavior analysis including effective reinforcement, and prompting and error correction strategies.
