Answer 1

Answer:

stimulus control                                                                        

Explanation:

Stimulus control: In psychology, the term stimulus control is defined as the phenomenon in which a particular stimulus increases the probability of a specific behavior or operant response because in past that behavior is being reinforced differently in the presence of a given stimulus.

In other words, stimulus control describes a particular situation in which a specific behavior is being triggered due to the absence or presence of a few stimuli.
