This episode covers the Fourth Edition Task List items D-09: Use the verbal operants as a basis for language assessment. In order to discuss that, I first discuss FK-43 - FK-46, which covers echoics, mands, tacts, and intraverbals. If you want more information on verbal behavior, check out Ch. 25 of the 2nd edition of the Cooper et al. text.
