What causes social anxiety in adults?
There’s no one thing that causes social anxiety disorder. Genetics likely has something to do with it: If you have a family member with social phobia, you’re more at risk of having it, too. It could also be linked to having an overactive amygdala — the part of the brain that controls your fear response.

/0 Comments/in /by

We work at a clinic that focuses on teaching verbal behavior to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ages 3-5.

Each time we hire a new staff member, we have to train the new staff on the basics of verbal behavior.

Compose a document that we can share with new staff as a “cheat sheet” on the basics of verbal behavior. do not have to attach an actual document, instead paste your response into the Discussion Board.

Our “cheat sheet” for staff should cover the following:

A brief description of Skinner’s view of how language is learned.
A description of each of Skinner’s six elementary verbal operants (mand, tact, echoic, intraverbal, textual, and transcription). Your description must include the controlling antecedent and consequence.

A novel, real-life example for each verbal operant. These should be new examples and not examples that you read in your textbook or that were shared by your instructor. References PLEASE
