=== There are some scientific papers that argue that there are two different types of antecedent variables '''. These two types of antecedent variables are referred to as discriminative stimuli and setting events . Setting events differ from discriminative stimuli as setting events are believed to have an effect on the stimulus-response relationship . It has been suggested that setting events focus on three categories of stimuli being biological, physical and social variables . Discriminative stimuli are found to be present “when a behavior is reinforced” . The discriminative stimuli is believed to be the identifying event alerting the mind that a reinforcement will occur in exchange for a specific behavior .''' ===
