Abstract control by a stimulus
Sometimes the property of the stimulus which controls an operant performance may not be found in any single instance of the stimulus. When such is the case the control may be through an abstract property of the stimulus, such as its shape, position or size. In each of these cases, the controlling property of the stimulus is found in a class of stimuli, and reinforcement is determined by a general rule rather than a specific form of the stimulus.
