Understanding Stimulus and Response Classes

Complete the readings and the interactive learning activity before you attempt the discussion question.

Stimulus events can be discussed in terms of their features and relationships to behavior (physical, temporal, & functional). Changes in stimuli occur both as antecedent and consequence events, which affect an individual's response. Think about some of your own response patterns that occur. Within a specific example, identify a set of antecedent stimuli that would demonstrate a stimulus class that influences your response(s), clearly explaining what establishes those stimuli as a stimulus class. Next, discuss your current response(s) to that stimulus class that make up a functional or structural response. Are there other responses that would fit to create a response class? Finally, what specific environmental modifications could you make to alter the stimulus-response relationship?
