Skinner recognized an important difference between Pavlov's and Thorndike's
procedures, namely, that in Pavlov's procedure
a. the eliciting stimulus can be anything.
b. the behavior that can be brought under environmental control is limited to those responses
that can already be elicited by other stimuli.
c. the eliciting stimulus strengthens any and all behaviors that precede it but none that follow
it.
d. it doesn't really matter whether the eliciting stimulus precedes or follows the response,
since the effect is always to strengthen it.
e. once the eliciting stimulus is selected, the choice is then whether it will be used to
strengthen or weaken the behavior that it follows.
b. the behavior that can be brought under environmental control is limited to those
responses that can already be elicited by other stimuli.
