Dear Reader,
A covert or overt self-probe of someone who has just been
introduced to the SVB/NVB distinction, might be: “is this SVB or NVB?” Mediators
who are not familiar with this distinction remain incapable of consequating the
correct answer, even if it was given. The correct answer can only be reinforced
by the mediator, who him or herself is familiar with this distinction. For reinforcement of his
or her verbal behavior, the verbalizer depends on people from his or her verbal community, but
for reinforcement of his or her nonverbal behavior, the sound
representing the verbalizer’s well-being, the verbalizer is capable of
reinforcing him or herself, because the verbalizer is in a better position than
someone else to be able to recognize Voice II, without which SVB cannot occur. When the verbalizer engages in SVB or NVB, he or she produces a different sound, Voice II and Voice I, respectively. Voice I is called Voice I, because without recognizing Voice I, one cannot stop it and produce Voice II.
,
When a person speaks with a sound, which makes him or her feel good and has a nonverbal, automatically reinforcing expression,
he or she doesn’t need another person to make him or her feel good about his or
her sound. Although another person is not needed to mediate the verbalizer's sense of well-being, such sound is only going to be produced if this sound has been produced by
another person, who him or herself has also produced such an automatically
reinforcing sound that made him or herself feel good. Due to the NVB that we
are continuously surrounded with, the “micro-structural
preparation (i.e. preconditioning)”, which is only possible during SVB, cannot and will not occur. It is only when the verbalizer listens to him or
herself while he or she speaks, that the mediator and verbalizer are perceived as one and
the same person within the speaker. Thus, in SVB verbalizers are their own mediators as well as
each other’s mediators.
