Item Description

The PEAK: Relational Training System is a novel approach to Verbal Behavior Therapy, which embraces traditional verbal behavior accounts of basic language, and incorporates contemporary behavior analytic strategies for promoting relational responding (a broad repertoire of learning meaning through relations between stimuli) that are responsible for our ability understand and use abstract language.

Unlike other verbal behavior assessments, the PEAK system not only provides a criterion-referenced assessment of current skills but also provides an explicit curriculum designed to maximize learning from multiple learning principles.

While traditional VB focuses on direct instruction and stimulus generalization (the process of learning to respond to similar stimuli as those that were taught), the PEAK system takes language learning a step further and includes pre-requisite instruction and training for equivalence and relational learning that allows for derived responding.  Derived responding, learning through relations between stimuli without needing to be directly taught, is a process that is at the heart of human language and responsible for our ability to readily interpret novel expressions and understand the meaning of words.
