Tacts are a type of verbal behavior in which a person labels or describes objects, events, or actions in their environment. This behavior is often used to share information or express observations. Tacts are important in communication as they help individuals convey their thoughts and experiences to others. In the field of psychology, particularly in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), tacts are considered a fundamental skill for language development. They differ from other verbal behaviors, such as mands, which are requests. Teaching tacts can enhance social interactions and improve overall communication skills in individuals, especially those with autism.
