Le controle par les instructions et la relation d'équivalence entre les stimulus

Abstract

Catania’s (1986) proposition validity, according which the equivalence's relation between the stimulus is the origin of the difference between the discriminative control and the control through instructions was tested. First, it is shown that experimental data do not satisfy the formalization between stimuli in themes of equivalence. Second it is questional the relevance of the equivalence's relation logic to model of stimulus sustitution that demands the control through instructions.
