conditional discrimination

a discrimination in which reinforcement of a response in the presence of a stimulus depends on the presence of other stimuli. For example, in a matching-to-sample procedure, responding to a comparison stimulus that matches the sample stimulus is reinforced; that is, determining the correctness of a response depends on the sample stimulus. See also simultaneous discrimination; successive discrimination.
