Textual Codic refers to a verbal behavior where an individual looks at a written or visual stimulus and responds by reading or speaking the words aloud. This type of response involves the interpretation of visual text into spoken language without the need for comprehension.
Example
A student looks at the word “apple” written on a flashcard and says “apple” out loud. The act of reading the word is a textual codic, as the student is converting the visual stimulus into a verbal response.
