Discussion
Children are taught names of objects, animals, people, etc., by binding the relation between names and form. According to Skinner _______ functions as a verbal operant.
Answer: C
According to Skinner, the tact functions as a verbal operant in naming objects, animals and people. A tact is a response that names or describes something in the environment, and it is reinforced by social approval, as when a child says 'dog' on seeing a dog.
A mand is a demand or request, like asking for water, controlled by the need of the speaker. Signs and symbols are not Skinner's verbal operants. So the tact is the one that fits binding names to forms.
