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.
在行为分析中，关于刺激等价性的研究已经是一个活跃了 45 多年的领域。默里·西德曼（Murray Sidman）的贡献对这一领域的发展至关重要，因此，强调发展等价关系和行为描述模型所必需的实验似乎是有益的。本文的目的是概述为 Sidman 及其同事在 1982 年提出的刺激等价性的概念化提供历史背景的重要工作。本文强调了西德曼及其同事撰写的 31 篇论文和章节，这些论文和章节侧重于刺激控制内的研究问题。这些章节和论文是根据其在行为分析中的维度以及是否可以归类为指令程序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、辨别等。总的来说，这项早期工作影响了对刺激控制问题的方法和考虑，这些问题对刺激等价性的发展很重要。
