Behavior Analysis of Language and Cognition, originating from the Fourth International Institute on Verbal Relations, provides a contemporary look at the nature of stimulus relations and verbal events and their impact on cognitive activity. The book covers a range of basic and applied topics, but throughout the book, authors return to a common question: how do language and cognition work? Some of the best authors in the field present their answers to that question here.
