This is part two of our conversation with Dr Claire St Peter from the University of West Virginia where she is currently the Chair of the Department of Psychology, and Dr Carol Pilgrim, a Professor Emerit in the Psychology Department at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

Her research contributions include both basic and applied behavior analysis, with an emphasis in human operant behavior and relational stimulus control.
Our subject is for this podcast is stimulus control. In Part 1 Dr. Pilgrim started us out with definitions and an introduction to the subject. She shared the story of Clever Hans, a horse who was said to be able to do complicated math problems. What he really could do was read the very subtle cues his handler and others were giving that told him when he had reached the right answer.
In part two we take a deeper into the subject of stimulus control, including a discussion of relational stimulus control.

EPISODE 333 It's Hot! Pt 3 Funnels Not Cylinders - Becoming a Selective Sifter
We want to start small. That’s an important part of loopy training and constructional training in general. You begin with a small, simple, easily achieved response which means you are starting with a high success rate resulting in a high rate of reinforcement.
This is great from your horse’s point of view. Very little effort yields consistent goodies.
From our point of view we want to start small but we don’t want to stay small. Staying small means you are staying stuck in the narrow end of the funnel. Instead of the behavior expanding through gentle nudges, you are stuck in a tight cylinder.
In this episode we look at different strategies for breaking free of the narrow cylinder so your training can expand into ever more complex behavior.
