Below is a selected set of references for Stimulus Control.
Not surprisingly, all refs are taken from Biblio-Refs (click on "Download" above).
Biblio-Refs contains dozens more references on subjects relevant to stim
control, discrim, stim shift, equivalence training, and so on. Why not download
Win95 Biblio-Refs: It is absolutely unique and truly indispensable for
serious graduate students, eager researchers, and committed professors alike.
(P.S.: Review this and all STEPPE/Hedbring reference lists often;
they are in constant flux as new literature is uncovered, recommended, or
encountered. We are all in this together, so please be quick and eager to
point out errors or additional literature you find compelling. Thank you.)
