Function-altering effects of contingency-specifying stimuli.

摘要: Contingengy-specifying stimuli (CSSs) can function differently than discriminative stimuli. Rather evoking behavior due to a history of discrimination training, they alter the other and, therefore, behavioral relations involving those CSSs evocative stimuli, establishing operations, and conditional as well efficacy reinforcing punishing that in second-order respondent conditioning. The concept function-altering has implications for such areas interest stimulus equivalence, terminology “rules” “rule-governed behavior,” way which analysts view effects basic processes reinforcement punishment.
