B)transitivity
C)reflexivity
D)symmetry

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transitivity refers to the ability to derive relations between stimuli that have not been directly trained. In this case, the individual is able to derive the relation between A and C without explicit training, indicating their ability to understand transitive relations. Option A, stimulus equivalence, is a related concept but refers specifically to the ability to generalize learning to novel stimuli that have not been directly trained. Options C and D refer to basic properties of stimulus-stimulus relationships and are not specific to the ability to understand transitive relations.
