“…A relationship between what a person says he/she will do and then do, or between what he/she does and later says that he/she has done is termed correspondence between verbal and nonverbal behavior (Israel, 1978). Basic research in this area suggests that correspondence procedures can produce rapid changes in nonverbal (target) behavior by strengthening the appropriate verbal-nonverbal relationship (Baer, Williams, Osnes, & Stokes, 1984;Israel & O'Leary, 1973;Paniagua, Stella, Holt, Baer, & Etzel, 1982;Paniagua & Baer, 1982;Risley & Hart, 1968). Several researchers have emphasized the clinical effects of correspondence training in the management of various forms of behaviors in normal and abnormal qhildren (Baer, Osnes, & Stokes, 1983;Finney, Russo, & Cataldo, 1982;Paniagua, 1985;Rogers-Warren & Baer, 1976;Whitman, Scibak, Butler, Richter, & Johnson, 1982).…”
