Title: Stimulus in operant conditioning
Post by: Limista on August 13, 2012, 12:53:31 pm

Hey,

quick question - in operant conditioning, is the stimulus and discriminative stimulus the same thing?

Thanks in advance :D

I don't think I've heard this terminology before, at least in Grivas; is the discriminative stimulus mentioned in the Oxford book?
