The cue signaling that a particular response is likely to be followed by a certain type of consequence is known as a "discriminative stimulus."
- This stimulus indicates the likelihood of reinforcement or punishment following a specific behavior.
- The concept of discriminative stimulus comes from the field of behavioral psychology, under the umbrella of operant conditioning, which was developed by B.F. Skinner. Operant conditioning is a method of learning that employs rewards and punishments for behavior.
