Science and Human Behavior, Chapter 7: Operant Discrimination, Quote 9

“The relation between the discriminative operant and its controlling stimulus is very different from elicitation. Stimulus and response occur in the same order as in the reflex, but this does not warrant the inclusion of both types in a “stimulus-response” formula . . . The difference is at the root of the classical distinction between voluntary and involuntary behavior.” (pp. 110-111)
