S-R-S stands for which sequence?

• A. Stimulus-Response-Stimulus
• B. Antecedent-Response-Consequence
• C. Stimulus-Behavior-Consequence
• D. Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence

Answer: (D)

S-R-S, in behavior terms, describes a sequence where something in the environment signals or sets up what will happen next (an antecedent stimulus), a behavior occurs (the response), and then something follows that can influence future behavior (a consequence, often another stimulus). In practice, the standard way to name this chain is Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence. The first element is the cue that elicits the action, the middle is the action itself, and the last element is the result after the action that can reinforce or punish future responding. So this mapping fits S-R-S best: Antecedent corresponds to the first stimulus, Behavior to the response, and Consequence to the final stimulus that follows the behavior.
