“…Behavior analysts have also succeeded in 50 PHILIP W. DRASH and ROGER M. TUDOR producing programs for the development of functional speech and language in developmentally delayed children. Establishing a functional language repertoire is a major objective of many of these programs (Bricker, 1980(Bricker, , 1983Bricker & Bricker, 1974;Cushing, Adams, & Rincover, 1983;Drash & Leibowitz, 1973;,1990Guess, Sailor, & Baer, 1976;Kent, 1974;Lovaas, 1966Lovaas, , 1977Lovaas, , 1980Lovaas, , 1981Lovaas, , 1987MacDonald & Horstmeier, 1978;Rogers-Warren & Warren, 1981;Shiefelbusch, 1978;Shiefelbusch & Bricker, 1981;Warren & Rogers-Warren, 1985).…”

Lack of a standard methodology has been one of the major obstacles preventing advancement of behavior analytic research in verbal behavior. This article presents a standard method for the analysis, recording, and control of verbal behavior that overcomes several major methodological problems that have hindered operant research in verbal behavior. The system divides all verbal behavior into four functional response classes, correct, error, no response, and inappropriate behavior, from which all vocal responses of a subject may be classified and consequated. The effects of contingencies of reinforcement on verbal operants within each category are made immediately visible to the researcher as changes in frequency of response. Incorporating frequency of response within each category as the unit of response allows both rate and probability of verbal response to be utilized as basic dependent variables. This method makes it possible to record and consequate verbal behavior in essentially the same way as any other operant response. It may also facilitate an experimental investigation of Skinner's verbal response categories.

“…Thus far, the most effective programs to teach correct stimulus-specific verbal responses to echolalics have used operant procedures such as imitation training, stimulus fading, and differential reinforcement (e.g., Carr, 1985;Cushing, Adams, & Rincover, 1983;Harris, 1975). For example, Carr, Schreibman, and Lovaas (1975) and Risley and Wolf (1967) taught correct responses to questions by having the trainer (a) present the verbal stimulus (e.g., "What is a rose?…”

Some Direct and Generalized Effects of Replacing an Autistic Man's Echolalia With Correct Responses to Questions

We extended the use of operant procedures to decrease immediate echolalia and increase the appropriate responding to questions of a 21-year-old autistic man. Three experiments were conducted in which the overall plan was to encourage the subject to remain quiet before, during, and after the presentation of questions and teach him to use environmental cues (i.e., word cards or a model's responses) to increase the likelihood of responding correctly. Multiple baseline designs demonstrated that echolalia was rapidly replaced with correct stimulus-specific responses. In addition, there were a variety of generalized improvements in the subject's verbal responses to questions. The procedures and results are contrasted to previous research in an attempt to explain the encouraging findings.
