“When we learn to drive a car, for example, we begin with responses to verbal stimuli. Our behavior is rule-governed. We flip switches, push pedals, and turn the wheel as we are told to do. But consequences follow and begin to shape and maintain our behavior. Wen we have become skillful drivers, the rules no longer function.” (p. 99)
