Textual Codicย refers to a verbalย behaviorย where an individual looks at a written or visualย stimulusย and responds by reading or speaking the words aloud. This type ofย responseย involves the interpretation of visual text into spoken language without the need for comprehension.
Example
A student looks at the word โappleโ written on a flashcard and says โappleโ out loud. The act of reading the word is a textual codic, as the student is converting the visualย stimulusย into a verbalย response.
