Detailed explanation-1: -e. An amplified stimulus feeding back information to responses. A discriminative stimulus is associated with operant conditioning.
Detailed explanation-2: -A discriminative stimulus is a stimulus that when it is present, generates a particular response and the response is usually faster, more frequent, and more resistant to extinction. The responding behavior is then subjected to discriminative stimulus control.
Detailed explanation-3: -Only ordering a dish at one restaurant because you know that other restaurants don’t offer that same menu item is an example of stimulus discrimination. Your cat being able to tell the difference between hearing you open a bag of chips and you opening a bag of cat treats is another example.
Detailed explanation-4: -Neural stimulation acts as a discriminative stimulus for operant responses that are in turn maintained by neural consequences.
Detailed explanation-5: -the ability to distinguish among different stimuli (e.g., to distinguish a circle from an ellipse) and to respond differently to them.
