Verbal Operants

1. Mand: The learner asks for something that is currently wanted (Behavior Analysts cannot infer "want"; we might say "asks for something" but stop there.)  It can be referred to as demand or request. 
2. Echoic:  The learner repeats exactly what they hear.  This is also a vocal imitation.
3. Motor Imitation:  The learner copies or repeats another's motor movement.
4. Tact: The learner states something by name that is in sight. 
5. Receptive: The learner follows a direction of another.
6. Intraverbal: Talking about something that is not present; answering "wh" questions; responding to someone's verbal behavior.
7. FFC:  This stands for Function, Feature and Class.  Here the learner is talking about items by their identifying characteristics.
8. Textual: Saying a word when seeing the written word.
9. Writing: Writing the word when said aloud.
