Stimulus control, in the context of Experimental Analysis of Behavior, refers to the influence that certain stimuli have on behavior. It is the idea that behaviors are more likely to occur in the presence of specific stimuli or cues. Let me give you a really simple example of the conditional control that may be exerted by stimuli. Green means go, red means stop, and yellow is the universe’s way of saying, « Hey, maybe start stopping – but no rush!
French
Stimulus control analyse le comportement avec des stimuli.
