Document Summary
Because our behavior of responding to various antecedent stimuli has been reinforced, punished, or extinguished, those stimuli exert control over our behavior whenever they occur.

A rule describes a situation in which a behavior will lead to a consequence it is a statement that a spe(cid:272)ifi(cid:272) (cid:271)eha(cid:448)io(cid:396) (cid:449)ill (cid:862)pa(cid:455) off(cid:863) o(cid:396) ha(cid:448)e a (cid:271)ad out(cid:272)o(cid:373)e i(cid:374) a pa(cid:396)ti(cid:272)ula(cid:396) situatio(cid:374) A rule can function as an sd a cue that emitting the behavior specified by the rule will lead to the reinforcer identified in the rule, or a cue that not following the rule will lead to a punisher. Sometimes rules clearly identify reinforcers or punishers associated with the rules (cid:894)e. g. if (cid:455)ou(cid:859)(cid:396)e (cid:374)ot (cid:395)uiet, i(cid:859)ll se(cid:374)d (cid:455)ou to (cid:455)ou(cid:396) (cid:396)oo(cid:373)(cid:895).
