A discriminative stimulus is a type of stimulus that is used to signal the availability of reinforcement or punishment for a particular behavior, thus putting the behavior under stimulus control. This means the behavior is more likely to occur in the presence of the discriminative stimulus because it has been learned that this stimulus indicates a certain consequence (reinforcement or punishment) for the behavior.
