Scientific Definition

scientist

In verbal behavior, a “codic” pertains to a type of verbal operant where a speaker repeats words or sentences spoken by others. It plays an essential role in language acquisition and communication skills development, particularly for children with special needs who may have unique language learning pathways.

Real World Example of Codic

Meet Mia, a bright child with special needs, and her encounter with Codic:

  • Mia listens carefully when her teacher speaks and repeats the words.
  • This “copycat game” helps her learn new words and how to use them.
  • Through codic, Mia can communicate effectively and enjoy conversations.

Mia’s story illustrates the power of codic in enhancing communication skills.

How Does Codic (Verbal Behavior) Work?

Codic is like an echo in a conversation. Here’s how it plays out:

  • Someone says something, and we repeat it.
  • This helps us learn new words and how to use them.
  • For kids with special needs, codic is a powerful way to learn and communicate.

Codic is a conversation mirror, reflecting words and helping us understand them better.
