Verbal Behavior

A Minimum of 300 words with references, NO PLAIGARIAM. Turnitin will check. The paper must be original. Must have training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to use correct terminology.

Part 1: How does the behavioral theory of verbal behavior differ from the cognitive theory of language development? Provide an example from either your own personal/work experience or from the reading to support the behavioral view of language. Chomsky stated that the behavior view was not possible since humans constantly create new sentences. How could a behaviorist (using the principles) explain the creation of new sentences?

Part 2: In this unit, you learned about mands, tacts, and intraverbals. Selecting one of these, describe how you would teach an individual a specific mand, tact, or intraverbal. Explain what your training session would look like, including the relevant antecedents and consequences.
