摘要: This volume as a whole emphasizes that drugs and their effects can be conceptualized analytically “stimuli” having three important stimulus functions—eliciting, reinforcing, discriminative functions. In eliciting function, act unconditioned stimuli in Pavlovian or Type-S conditioning paradigm; is, drug effects, paired with other the mode, endow those new behavior-eliciting powers. is not quite same saying, however, only responses elicited by have been conditioned to stimulus, responses, changes taken place must interpreted exclusively Pavlovian.
