Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A discriminative stimulus indicates the availability of reinforcement for a specific response. It is a cue to the organism that a particular behavior will be followed by a consequence, such as a reward or punishment. Primary and secondary stimuli are not specifically linked to reinforcement, while a generalised stimulus is one that has been associated with many different reinforcements and may not elicit a specific response.
