Verbal Development Behavioral Metamorphosis and the Evolution of Language

摘要

Behavioral metamorphosis demonstrated in verbal behavior development milestones. There is a continuum of change within each stage and experientially learned stimulus control propels behavioral metamorphosis across stages. For example, the child in larvae stage is very different from someone who lacks this stimulus control, and also very different from someone who comes under the stimulus control that results in the emergence of the cusps listed in the listener stage.
