This statement is true. A discriminative stimulus is a cue that signals the availability of reinforcement or punishment for a particular response. Each response in a behavioral chain creates the stimulus situation that serves as the discriminative stimulus for the next response in the chain. In other words, the presence of a particular environmental cue signals the need for a specific response, which in turn creates a new cue for the next response in the chain.
