If an Occasion Setter Is Paired with a New Target

question 32

Essay

If an occasion setter is paired with a new target, one that has been the target of a different occasion setter, the first occasion setter tends to transfer its occasion setting ability to the new target. For instance, if a pigeon is exposed to trials in which A sets the occasion for B to be reinforced (A→B+, B‒) and C sets the occasion for D to be reinforced (C→D+, D‒), then A will also function as an occasion setting for D, and C will be an occasion setter
