What are intraverbals primarily associated with?

Intraverbals are primarily associated with answering questions and engaging in conversations. This verbal operant involves responding to the verbal behavior of others without the presence of the actual objects or visual prompts that would be necessary for other types of verbal behavior, such as echoics or tacting.

For example, if someone asks "What is your favorite color?" and the individual replies "Blue," that response demonstrates an intraverbal behavior because it relies on the verbal cue (the question) rather than a direct connection to a physical object or stimuli. The essence of intraverbals is their function in social interactions, where individuals can maintain a dialogue and share information or experiences simply through spoken exchanges.
