- Title
STIMULUS CONTROL AS AN INSTANCE OR AN INFERENCE: COMMENTARY ON REMARKS BY MURRAY SIDMAN.
- Authors
Iversen, Iver H.
- Abstract
The author provides his comments on Murray Sidman's statements in his Remarks that one cannot observe individual instances of stimulus control through a single observation, that stimulus control is always an inference and that controlling relations are not directly observable. He cites the problem in the use of "stimulus control" which was used with very different meanings. He invites Sidman to suggest a terminology that can take apart the different meanings of "stimulus control."
