Look at the chart below. I identified an example of each verbal operant that I used.

4. Identify your own verbal behavior and place it in the correct verbal operant category. Finally, list the antecedent to your verbal behavior.

Verbal operant	antecedent	my communication
echoic	My cat said, "meow."	I said, "meow."
tact	I look at my classroom and see my favorite students	I say, "my favorite students."
mand	I have french fries, but I do not have ketchup.	I say to my family member, "pass the ketchup!"
intraverbal	A student says, " I registered for Spring classes."	I say, "what did you register for?"
