Several studies of facilitated communication have demonstrated that the facilitators were controlling and directing the typing, although they appeared to be unaware of doing so. Such results shift the focus of analysis to the facilitator's behavior and raise questions regarding the controlling variables for that behavior. This paper analyzes facilitator behavior as an instance of automatic verbal behavior, from the perspective of Skinner's (1957) book Verbal Behavior. Verbal behavior is automatic when the speaker or writer is not stimulated by the behavior at the time of emission, the behavior is not edited, the products of behavior differ from what the person would produce normally, and the behavior is attributed to an outside source. All of these characteristics appear to be present in facilitator behavior. Other variables seem to account for the thematic content of the typed messages. These variables also are discussed.
多项关于辅助沟通的研究表明，辅助者在控制并引导打字过程，尽管他们似乎并未意识到自己在这样做。这些结果将分析重点转移到辅助者的行为上，并引发了关于该行为控制变量的问题。本文从斯金纳（1957年）所著的《言语行为》的视角，将辅助者行为作为自动言语行为的一个实例进行分析。当说话者或写作者在发出行为时未受到该行为的刺激、行为未经过编辑、行为产物与该人正常情况下的产出不同，且行为被归因于外部来源时，言语行为就是自动的。辅助者行为似乎具备所有这些特征。其他变量似乎可以解释所打出信息的主题内容。本文也将对这些变量进行讨论。
