Thank you so much for making this video. I was frustrated because I did not understand this concept. You helped me separate my thought process and helped me to fully understand what simple discrimination and conditional discrimination. I will be subscribing to the channel for help in the future.😊

The questions from ABA Wizard app consider directions such as clap your hands or touch your nose to be conditional discriminations with the discriminative stimulus being the availability of your hands and the conditional stimulus being the direction itself. Examples for simple discrimination that they gave were turning up the thermostat and it gets warmer, press the gas petal and you go faster… But I also see how when comparing these examples to ones such as get me a hot cup of water have more distinct SDs/CDs…. now I’m extra confused

Yes, this can be crazy making. Think of the simplest discrimination you could make, like me saying "Red" when you have several colors in front of you. That's clearly simple. Then, if I say "Give me the red circle and then the blue square," it's clearly two (or three) different discriminations that you must make. The test should help you, because some will be more clearly simple (only one thing to discriminate) and others will have more.

[@monibonny]

so with the example you used for stimulus discrimination with the green we go and the red we stop. would the green light be an sd for driving and red would be an sdelta for driving?

[@behavioranalystsupervisori8906]

Yep! You've got it!
