According to behavioral momentum theory, there are two separable aspects of the discriminated operant that independently govern the rate at which a response occurs and the persistence of that response in the face of operant disruption such as punishment, extinction, differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors, etc. (see Nevin & Grace, 2000, for a review).
In the quantitative analysis of behavior, stimulus control is examined from a number of perspectives, including Matching to Sample, and signal detection (Nevin, 1965; 1969).
