Module 3: Stimulus Equivalence and Relational Responding

In the above article we dive into some history of stimulus equivalence and how that research became a foundation for RFT.

Discussion/Reflection Questions

  1. Stimulus equivalence is one of those things that you were probably aware of way before RFT, although you may not have known it by name. How does your knowledge of RFT thus far change how you see stimulus equivalence?

  2. Does it make sense that stimulus equivalence was a progenitor to RFT?

  3. What memories showed up for you as you read this article?

  4. How can even the simplest form of derived relational responding be useful for you and your clients?
