Teaching Complex Verbal Operants with the PEAK Relational Training System
Overview
Affiliations
The present study evaluated the effectiveness of five packaged protocols from the (PEAK) curriculum. The skills targeted in the study included complex verbal operants proposed by Skinner (. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1957), an area that is lacking in the current literature. The target skills included autoclitics, metonymical tacts, tacting planet names, and guessing. The results suggest that the PEAK methodology was effective in teaching each of the targeted skills to a mastery criterion, as well as maintenance of those skills at a 2-week follow-up phase.
