Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A discriminative stimulus is a cue or signal that lets the organism know that reinforcement is available if a particular behavior is performed. This is different from a positive reinforcement, which is the actual delivery of a desired stimulus after a behavior is performed. A signal stimulus is not a recognized term in psychology, and a reinforcement schedule refers to the pattern or timing of reinforcements rather than a cue.
