Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discriminative stimuli are presented before a behavior occurs and signal the availability of reinforcement. They do not directly affect the likelihood of the behavior being repeated, but rather indicate the potential outcome of the behavior. Operant conditioning occurs when the consequence of a behavior (reinforcement or punishment) impacts the likelihood of that behavior being repeated. Reinforcing stimuli increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated, while punitive stimuli decrease the likelihood.
