What is relational frame theory?
One of the ways the verbal community solves the problem of privacy by looking to publicly available correlates of the private stimulation.
What are collateral responses?
The truth and meaning of an idea lie in its function or utility, rather than how well it mirrors reality.
What is truth criterion?

What is covert operant activity?
To Steven Hayes, this is a powerful framework for understanding human behavior and for guiding therapeutic interventions.
What is functional contextualism?
This principle requires that I have a history with respect to stimuli that are formally similar to the object of the generalization.
What is stimulus generalization?
To radical behaviorists, this is one form of seeing in the absence of a thing to be seen. A.k.a. conditioned respondent seeing.
What is imaging?
In functional contextualism, these are the principles that enable accurate prediction of behavior in specific contexts and effective strategies for influencing behavior to achieve desired outcomes.

These are the basic building blocks of understanding relationships. It's like the mental grammar that helps us make sense of the world.
What are relational frames?
A mediating mental state that makes possible some sort of knowledge of oneself, as well as meta-knowledge, or knowing that one knows about oneself.
What is consciousness?
The truth criterion associated with contextualism
What is successful working?
