Question

A behavior that occurs more often in the presence of a stimulus than in its absence is said to be under: a. Discriminative stimulus. b. Stimulus control. c. Stimulus generalization. d. Generalization gradient.

Answer 1

Letter B is the correct answer.

According to behavioral psychology studies, stimulus control is a phenomenon that takes place when an organism behaves in a certain way when in the presence of a stimulus than in its absence. For instance, when we have a stop sign at an intersection, higher is the probability that "braking" behavior will occur.
