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.

Sidman 等价之前的关键论文概述

在行为分析中，刺激对等的研究已经成为一个活跃的领域超过 45 年。Murray Sidman 的贡献对该领域的发展至关重要，因此，强调对等关系和行为的描述性模型的发展所必需的实验似乎是有益的。本文的目的是概述重要的工作，这些工作为 Sidman 及其同事在 1982 年提出的刺激等效概念化的历史背景提供了历史背景。本文重点介绍了 Sidman 及其同事撰写的 31 篇论文和章节，重点关注关于刺激控制中的研究问题。章节和论文是根据它们在行为分析中的维度以及它们是否可以归类为教学计划或实验研究来组织的。关于这些论文和章节讨论的问题包括刺激类型、匹配、歧视等。总的来说，这项早期工作影响了对刺激等效性发展很重要的刺激控制问题的方法和考虑。
