Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The indicator light is a stimulus, as it is a signal in the environment that triggers a response (driving to the gas station) from Jason. A reinforcer is a consequence that increases the likelihood of a behavior occurring again in the future, and a sensation is a physical or psychological experience resulting from the detection of a stimulus. Therefore, neither A nor B are accurate choices.
