When is a Mand considered 'Pure'?

  1. When it's a command

  2. When it's an offer

  3. When learner is requesting things that are out of sight

  4. When it is visible

The correct answer is: When learner is requesting things that are out of sight

A 'Mand' is a type of language in applied behavior analysis that describes an instance when an individual requests something that they want or need. 'Pure' refers to when a mand is considered successful and appropriate. In this context, option A is incorrect because a mand is not automatically considered 'Pure' just because it's a command. Similarly, option B is incorrect because an offer is a different type of language and does not fit the definition of a mand. Option D is incorrect because the visibility of the mand does not determine if it is 'Pure' or not. Only option C accurately describes when a mand is considered 'Pure', as it refers to the learner requesting things that they cannot see, indicating that they understand the concept of requesting and have a broader understanding of communication.
