Deconstructing Common Bidirectional Naming: A Proposed Classification Framework
Hawkins, Emma; Gautreaux, Grant; Chiesa, Mecca
Analysis of Verbal Behavior, v34 n1-2 p44-61 Dec 2018
Conceptually, the use of the technical term "naming" appears to be a broad term that describes several subtypes of emergent verbal behavior. Miguel ("The Analysis of Verbal Behavior," 32, 125-138, Miguel, 2016) introduces the concept of subtypes of naming, specifically common bidirectional naming and intraverbal bidirectional naming. He defines common bidirectional naming as "the process of different stimuli evoking the same speaker and listener behaviour and becoming members of the same class" (p. 130). A review of the literature on common bidirectional naming yielded some ambiguities related to differences in how researchers in the field defined naming. This article suggests that common bidirectional naming may be further dissected to yield six subtypes of naming. We aligned previous research on emergent verbal behavior with a unified taxonomy as part of a larger proposed classification framework on naming. The impact of identifying the subtypes of common bidirectional naming on skill acquisition and curriculum design is discussed. Finally, recommendations are made for future research based on this framework.
