Answer to Question 1

False . Operant and respondent stimulus control are not identical. While both involve antecedent stimuli evoking a response, there is a difference between the function of the discriminative stimulus for operant behavior and the conditioned stimulus for respondent conditioning. Discriminative stimuli acquire their controlling functions through association with stimulus change that occurs following the behavior. Conditioned stimuli acquire their controlling functions through associations with other antecedent stimuli that elicit behavior.
