How do you teach client how to tact if you don’t asks “What is this?” If when using “what is this?” it’s considered an intraverbal?

[@puchistaya]

Yes, same question

[@ABAExamReview]

Hey Adrienne, great question. What you are describing can be used as "tact training." The "What is this" would function as the prompt after presenting the non-verbal stimulus. Slowly, you would fade the prompt (what is this) so that only the non-verbal stimulus evoked the verbal behavior. When this occurs, you have a pure tact.

See my reply to Adrienne!

@@ABAExamReview ok thanks that makes since.

Shouldn't we also know types of mands: Regular, extended, superstitious and magical?

[@ABAExamReview]

If you get to the point where you are fluid in everything else, certainly!

If Jess says ham and cris say tavern would this be a mand or intraverbal ?

[@ABAExamReview]

If Jess is requesting ham, that would be a mand. If Jess is labeling the ham, that would be a tact. If Cris is replying to Jess, that would be an intraverbal. If Cris is not replaying to Jess, but labeling a tavern, that would be a tact. If Cris is requesting a tavern, that would be a mand. Always look at who the speaker and listener is when identifying verbal operants.
