“…Sidman and Tailby (1982) has had a substantial influence on experimental and applied research within behavior analysis and on most, if not all, of the work subsequently published on emergent relations (e.g., Arntzen et al, 2010; Arntzen & Nartey, 2018; Fields & Paone, 2020; Fienup et al, 2016; Pilgrim et al, 2011). Thus, an extensive body of research has focused on the emergence of equivalence classes in humans and nonhumans; this research has encompassed both basic and applied questions in addition to focusing on how the technology is employed (e.g., Lionello‐DeNolf, 2009; Zentall et al, 2014).…”

In behavior analysis, research on stimulus equivalence has been an area of high activity for more than 45 years. Murray Sidman's contribution was crucial in the development of this field, and, thus, it seems informative to highlight the experiments that were necessary in the development of the descriptive model of equivalence relations and behavior. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the significant work that gave the historical context for Sidman and colleagues' conceptualization of stimulus equivalence as it was presented in 1982. This article emphasizes the 31 papers and chapters written by Sidman and colleagues that focus on research questions within stimulus control. The chapters and papers are organized according to their dimensions in behavior analysis and according to whether they can be categorized as instruction programs or experimental studies. The issues discussed regarding these papers and chapters include types of stimuli, matching, discriminations, and others. Collectively, this early work influenced methods and considerations about stimulus control issues that have been important to the development of stimulus equivalence.

Stimulus equivalence research is dominated by operant conditioning procedures that require the active responding of a participant to establish relations between arbitrary stimuli. In comparison, there has been relatively little research using respondent-type procedures, which only require the participant to view relations that appear on screen. This presentation describes two experiments using a respondent-type matching-to-sample procedure to examine the effect of the one-to-many (OTM) training procedure and the linear procedure on equivalence class formation. The OTM procedure was extremely effective in generating equivalence responding, however the linear procedure was not. These findings are discussed in the context of previous research comparing the two training procedures, as well as the effectiveness of previous respondent procedures.
