The stimulus between two responses in an operant chain has an evocative effect in evoking the next response (its effect as a discriminative stimulus) and a repertoire-altering effect in increasing the future frequency of the response that preceded it (its effect as a conditioned reinforcer). New terms are introduced to permit a similar dichotomy of respondent functional relations as well as hybrid relations involving the respondent pairing procedure to develop conditioned reinforcers and punishers, and conditioned establishing operations. The resulting arrangement permits the assignment of a different term to each different behavioral function, and a classification of effects that is mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive.</p>","PeriodicalId":89645,"journal":{"name":"VB news","volume":"2 ","pages":"19-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/BF03392801","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30606998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adding two more general categories, codic and duplic, to the first three results in a set of five mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive groupings. Textual behavior and other relations involving point-to-point correspondence but no formal similarity fall into the codic category. Echoic behavior and other relations with formal similarity fall into the duplic category.
