Both an S^D and a warning stimulus are present before the response. An S^D is a type of stimulus used in classical conditioning, where the SS1 (a neutral stimulus) is paired with a US (an unconditioned stimulus) to create a CS (a conditioned stimulus) that elicits a response. Similarly, a warning stimulus signals that an aversive stimulus (e.g. a shock) is coming, and therefore is presented before the response occurs. Neither of these necessarily decreases responding, as it would depend on the individual and the specific circumstances.
