“…Comparing the responses in the echoic teaching with those of the tact teaching, it was verified that the children responded proportionately more to the echoic emission requests than to the tact emission requests. These results corroborate the claim of Cruvinel and Hubner (2013) that the significant increase in the cumulative frequency of the emission, by the child, of the tact, mand and echoic categories is linked to the increase of the emissions of these categories by the adult. Cruvinel and Hubner found that, at the same rate that the parents increased the mand and echoic requests, the child increased the emission of those behaviors.…”

“…As with the echoic, tact has a prominent role in the teaching of verbal behavior for young children and is considered one of the most important acquisitions when it comes to expanding or installing new verbal repertoires (Cruvinel & Hubner, 2013). The acquisition of tact puts the vocal verbal repertoire of the child under the control of a specific antecedent stimulus -a particular object, event or property of an event, which exercises a discriminative function (Skinner, 1957).…”

“…The learning of echoics by the child depends on the adult arranging contingencies that put the vocal response of the child under the control of the relevant conditions of the environment, as in the example where the speaker emits the answer "woof woof" when presented with the dog after hearing someone say "woof woof" (Cruvinel & Hubner, 2013;Greer & Ross, 2008;Skinner, 1957).…”

To refer to an object or event by providing its corresponding name is an important acquisition in the learning of verbal behavior. The relationship between the spoken name and its referent, called tact, is considered essential in the expansion of verbal repertoires in children. This study aimed to teach tact to four institutionalized children, aged between 26 and 29 months, with reduced exposure to verbal stimulation. The procedure introduced playful characteristics into the teaching of tact and the required repertoire, which was the emission of echoic responses, through procedures typically used to teach verbal repertoire for children with language delay. All children learned to tact (and echo). The procedure was effective in increasing the echoic repertoire and promoting the acquisition of the tact repertoire. These results confirm the literature that considers learning echoic repertoire to be a requirement for the acquisition of tact.

“…In order to effectively address some of the topics outlined here, behavior analysts may need to embrace nontraditional methodologies (Palmer, 1999). For example, observational data collection recently helped to demonstrate child-caregiver contingencies that contributed to a toddler's vocalizations and acquisition of verbal operants (Cruvinel & Costa Hübner, 2013). Perhaps advanced technology (i.e., The Language Environment Analysis (LENA®)) can help to facilitate this type of data collection for behavior analysts (Wang et al, 2017).…”

Prior editorials have addressed the question "Where do we go from here?" This is a reasonable query as an incoming editorial team considers new perspectives and initiatives that may further benefit the journal. I will address two important highlights of the revised mission statement of The Analysis of Verbal Behavior aimed at actively encouraging diversity of thought in publications and focusing on narrowing the gap between applied research and practice.

“…Analistas do comportamento também compartilham o interesse em resolver essas questões e têm muito a contribuir para o esclarecimento de algumas delas. Atualmente, existe um conjunto de estudos que permite ensinar repertórios verbais para as pessoas com desenvolvimento atípico, mas pouco se têm analisado as circunstâncias naturais que produzem ou favorecem a aquisição do comportamento verbal (Cruvinel & Hübner, 2013;Oliveira & Gil, 2008;Rehfeldt, 2011). condições ambientais que possibilitam a aprendizagem de determinados comportamentos complexos.…”

A Análise do Comportamento conta com suporte teórico e empírico para explicar o desenvolvimento e aaprendizagem da linguagem? Para responder à questão, foram sumarizadas quatro perspectivas teóricasanalítico-comportamentais sobre a aquisição e o desenvolvimento da linguagem: comportamento verbal;comportamento simbólico; teoria da nomeação; teoria das molduras relacionais. Este estudo teve por objetivoapontar convergências e divergências entre as perspectivas teóricas e apresentar algumas implicações para arealização de estudos empíricos com participantes crianças de até 36 meses, usualmente chamadas de criançaspequenas. Desde a proposta skinneriana de análise do comportamento verbal, houve avanços nas teorias quepretenderam preencher lacunas na explicação do desenvolvimento e aquisição inicial da linguagem.Argumenta-se que é necessário dar continuidade a pesquisas que descrevam a aquisição precoce de repertóriosverbais e simbólicos das crianças, em contexto experimental e no ambiente natural, para dar o necessáriosuporte empírico às formulações teóricas.
