Abstract
Relational frame theory views specific types of arbitrarily applicable relational responding as relational operants. Doing so requires no assumptions of new processes, but it does require thinking of operants in functional terms. Issues surrounding functional thinking are described, and a method for characterizing relational operants in mathematically accessible terms is described.
