Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that in operant conditioning, stimuli can signal whether a behavior will be reinforced or not.
Recognize that a discriminative stimulus (S\_D) signals that reinforcement is available if a certain behavior occurs.
Identify that the stimulus in the presence of which reinforcement is NOT available is called the S-delta (S\_\Delta).
Note that the conditioned stimulus (CS) is related to classical conditioning and signals the occurrence of an unconditioned stimulus.
Recall that the unconditioned stimulus (US) naturally elicits a response without prior learning, so it is not related to signaling reinforcement availability.
