This is the next video in our series about Skinner's verbal behaviour. • Skinner created the verbal operants which are: • Echoics • Mands • Tacts • Intraverbals • Autoclitics • What are tacts? • Tacts are labels or the names for things. • A tact occurs when a person names an item that they see, hear, smell, feel or taste. • How do we teach tacts? • Tacts can be taught incidentally using natural environment teaching sometimes called NET or in a more structured way using discrete trial training also called DTT. • In NET, the child is taught names of items within their context. In DTT, the child is often taught tacts in categories (animals, foods, vehicles etc). • Here's an example of what a DTT session would sound like: • Teacher: (Showing picture of a cat) What animal? • Learner: Cat. • Teacher: That's right! This is a cat! (Gives high five) • Some children have a difficult time learning tacts when the question What is this? is asked. Some of the issues that can arise are the child repeating the question or the answer being given only when the question is posed. • As a way to avoid these problems, it is a good idea to mix trials so that sometimes the instructor only holds up the item being tacted with an expectant look on their face to indicate to the child that a response is expected. • How long will it take to learn to tact? • Each person will learn at their own pace. What sometimes happens is bursts of new vocabulary being learned at once with time between to consolidate the language. • Why do we teach tacting? • A large tact repertoire indicates a big vocabulary. Having more tacts will help the child communicate their ideas more clearly and effectively. • However, being able to name items does not mean that the learner understands what the items are or what they can do or be used for. • To read the entire blog visit: https://www.sidebysidetherapy.ca/auti... • For Additional Information about Side by Side Therapy or to contact Lindsey Malc, BCBA: • Call Us: 1-877-797-0437 • Website: https://www.sidebysidetherapy.ca • Email: [email protected] • Twitter: / sbs_autism_bcba • Facebook: / sidebysidetherapy • LinkedIn: / sidebysideabatherapy • Instagram: / side-by-side-therapy • Youtube: / @autismtipsforparents
