Stimulus class

A group of stimuli that share a common function, topography, or temporal relation and have a common effect on a response class (behavior).

Hint: Think of the stimulus class as the stuff that precedes and/or follows behavior. For example, your PTB ABA Study Manual, pens, highlighters, note cards and notebooks are the stimulus class of things that you use to study.
