In S-(R-O) learning situations, S serves as an occasion setter, indicating when the relationship between a specific response (R) and its outcome (O) is valid, rather than directly eliciting a conditioned response as a conditioned stimulus (CS) would. This means S signals when the R-O contingency is in effect.
