Effects observed when behavior is shaped by its consequences, including stimulus control, the matching law, shaping and behavioral contrast. A phenomenon belongs here when its cited article places it in operant conditioning or reinforcement. Every member sits in the Psychology Atlas as its own page with a definition, cited sources and links to related effects, so the group works as a reading path through Operant Conditioning Phenomena rather than as a claim that the members share one cause. Where scholars disagree about how an effect should be classified, the member page says so.
