Question

Contingency adduction is the emergence of accurate responding to untrained and non-reinforced stimulus-stimulus relations following the reinforcement of responses to some stimulus-stimulus relations.
(A) True
(B) False

Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation: The statement in the question describes Stimulus Equivalence.

Contingency Adduction occurs when an individual acquires a new behaviour through conditioning and another contingency adds it to its own range of behaviors.  

Stimulus equivalence on the other hand is when more than one different stimuli get the same response.  Similar to the response in a situation where conditioning did not take place, although the response is accurate, it has not been reinforced.
