Homework: Identifying Verbal Operands

In 1957, Skinner wrote the book Verbal Behavior in which he analyzed language based on the same environmental principles of behavior that he used to analyze nonverbal behavior. That analysis resulted in a classification system that allows for the identification of different types of language. The elementary verbal operants originated from this system, including:

1. Mands
2. Tacts.
3. Echoic.
4. Intraverbal (Sundberg, 1998).

This homework allows you to further solidify your understanding of this classification system.
