7.38 Features of Arbitrary Relational Response

And your response had the same features as when you responded to the other objects: mutual entailment, combinatorial entailment, and transformation of stimulus functions.

Features of Relational Responding

Mutual EntailmentRelations between stimuli are bidirectional. Responding to the relation in one direction (A to B) entails responding to the relation in the other direction (B to A).
Combinatorial EntailmentTwo or more stimulus relations can mutually combine. Responding to two combined relations (between A and B and between C and B) can entail a response to a third relation (between A and C).
Transformation of Stimulus FunctionsThe functions a stimulus has for a person can be transformed or changed on the basis of how it is related to other stimuli.
