When a behavior reliably occurs in the presence of a particular stimulus (S) and not in the absence of that stimulus or in the presence of other stimuli (S-), we can say that the behavior is under stimulus control. This means that the behavior is more likely to occur in the presence of the S, and less likely to occur in its absence or in the presence of other stimuli. Fully discriminated (B) means that the subject can differentiate between two or more stimuli and respond differently to each of them, which is not necessarily the case in stimulus control. Respondent (C) refers to behaviors that are elicited by a specific stimulus, such as reflexes, and are not necessarily under the control of the individual. Fully operant + (D) refers to a behavior that is freely emitted by the subject and is under the control of its consequences, which is not the case in stimulus control as the behavior is more controlled by the presence or absence of a specific stimulus.
