simultaneous conditioning
The most typical respondent procedure, in which the CS is followed within no more than 5 seconds by the US, is ordinarily called simultaneous conditioning (brief delays were incorporated into most so-called simultaneous conditioning procedures because the CR cannot be measured independently of the UR if the CS and US are simultaneous, and strict simultaneity is actually less effective in conditioning than a brief delay between CS and US). Stimuli effective as US's in respondent conditioning are often effective as positive or negative reinforcers in operant selection, and an older usage of reinforcement to refer to presentations of the US still survives in some parts of the lean-dng literature.
