Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Which operant is used when responding 'fish' to 'what kind of pet do you want?'

MAND

TACT

Intraverbal

One common feature of all verbal operants is that they are under functional control of stimuli. In this scenario, the speaker's verbal behavior (responding "what kind of pet do you want?" and "fish") is reinforced by another person responding to it with an appropriate verbal response. In this case, the verbal operant being utilized is intraverbal, where a response is evoked by a verbal stimulus that shares the point of similarity, 'pet'. Option A, MAND, would be used if the person asked for the pet directly. Option B, TACT, would be used to label an object or event, such as stating, "That is a fish." Option D, ECHOIC, would be used if the person repeated the word 'fish' after hearing it.
