Results suggested that the prompt-delay procedure resulted in positive treatment outcomes and provided valuable information on the implications of basing treatment goals on functional assessment.</p>","PeriodicalId":513395,"journal":{"name":"The Analysis of Verbal Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"226-236"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s40616-021-00153-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39766927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After I graduated and began my own teaching (modeled after Jack's behavior-analytic method of teaching) and thinking and writing about behavior analysis, I found myself talking and thinking like Jack.
