A systematic examination of different parameters of presession exposure to tangible stimuli that maintain problem behavior.

abstract：:Topographically similar verbal responses may be functionally independent forms of operant behavior. For example, saying yes or no may have different functions based on the environmental conditions in effect. The present study extends previous research on both the assessment and acquisition of yes and no responses acro...
